Go to View - 3d view modee - 3d window settings
then press Modee and choose between Wireframe, hidden or shading
your selected option is probably Wireframe and you have to choose other depending what 3d engine you use .
If u use Opengl - then select Shading like in pic.

Another possibility:
Check in the Layer Settings Dialog to see if the Layer the element is on is set to Wireframe.

Laszlo, this is not possible cos when you render element set to wireframe it stys wireframe...and this user see materials when he render...
So i would suggest him to read manual and learn basics of archicad.

Sounds to me like the material was set up for Lightworks but not the internal engine? The internal engine textures display in the OpenGL window (or in renderings with the internal engine). The LW materials only show up in a LW rendering.

As far as I understand, he is talking about the 3D Window, not PhotoRendering.
Judging from the posted screenshot he is in the 3D Window and his model is in wireframe.
