Unexpected 3D view of wall in AC22

The attached picture is the view of a simple wall, door and window.
No matter what I have tried : Document>option views; Layers, MVO overrides, the resulting image is similar to a "wireframe look"

Your suggestions and comments to correct this will be appreciated

Thanks guys

I turns out that under the 3D styles "trasnparency" transparency was checked-in.
This will only make materials with transparency appear transparent.
So the wall and the door frame must have a materials like glass (or they are being overridden by GO or Reno filter to have a transparent material).
Whereas the window frame does not.

In the original image, the window is not wire-framed, so I am now a bit confused by this "solution"...
This is because the window does not have a material with transparency.
