Wall surfaces not changing

Hi! 

I'm trying to change the surface of my walls, but they remain white. I'm using a composite wall and I have clicked on override surfaces.   

Thanks!

Hi @adrianasofiasm_,

Every thing is ok only you accidently overrided that BM related to a basic wall which you have included in your selection so try to use find & select option to ease your task of selection then override.

Your whole model is white. 

Have you activated the "White model" from the 3d settings somehow?

Or you have a Graphic Override Option enabled?

Hi! I'm not sure what you mean, I apologize since I'm still new to the program. I received this file from someone else who was working on it, and I'm trying to change the color of all the elements in it: columns, beams, walls, and slabs.

Hi! I'm not sure since I received the file from someone else who was working on it and they have no idea either what that is. We are still new to Archicad. Where can I find the Graphic Override Option?

Hi, you can't change all elements one time.
The best way is to use find & select frim Edit menu or Ctrl+F then you can filter each group if elements like wall element type basic structure type then apply changes then repeat this operation with composite structure type then for Beam element type and so on.

Hi! I tried selecting only one wall, but I still couldn't get it to change. But I figured out what was wrong? I went to Overrides and selected No Overrides, and I was able to change the surfaces! Thank you all!

you have override on, select this and choose no overrides.
