Hello,

Why some material e.g. Stucco white , not visble in 3d window, instead showing other side material of the same wall? ( AC 14 / 15 )
Even if same material looks perfectly in material editor as per attached file.

Regards,

Ratna

Hello,

So many views , No answer yet?

This is major issue for me because this happens only on some computer not others, even if my computer settings are same as others.

Attaching another screen shot for reference in which External stucco material is seen but taken internal material color.

Regards,

Ratna

It's not very clear what the problem actually is! What do the red circles show?

Are you saying that some the walls display the incorrect material despite being set correctly in the wall settings dialog?

Have you performed an SEO to the walls perhaps, as there is an option for the material to be inherited from the Operator?

Material assignments are relative to the Reference Line side of the Wall.
You should check where the Reference Line for each of the Walls is.

Thanks to everybody for reply,

In this image there is no solid operation and other customization.
It is just a simple wall having internal material as plain blue color, edge material having brick white and external side i.e. reference side having surface stucco white .

But in 3d window it seems only blue color to all side, but after rendering it is ok.

My NVEDIA card is updated regularly.

This problem is for 3d window only and all material setting in material editor is set correctly , Actually I kept them as default.

What are your colour and intensity settings for the sunlight and ambient light in 3D Projection Settings... > More Sun...
I am guessing that you have blue colours set for these.

Hello,

Yes, Dennis Lee was right, this is because of NVEDIA card.
I updated this driver and my problem is solved.

Thanks to you giving hint.
