B&W penset didn't effect elevation

Hello again everyone.

I've been able to make shaded black & white elevation view with shadow turned on successfully without any problems over my past projects but now i can't

The elevation would still be showing some colored surfaces although i've set all the pen to Black, but the weird thing is my section would show up correctly

I used the same settings, as the previously worked ones:
1. Create a pen set edited to Black-Grey-White combination
2. I Didn't override any fill settings in MVO because overriding any would make me lose either the building surfaces vectorial hatch or the shadow fill

this thing has been bugging me for the last couple of days, feels like i've been trying everything but nothing seems to work

any hints???

In the Elevation settings
• Select Uniform Pen color
• Select either a white pen, or background pen

Alt is to select "Nothing" as an option.

Wowww, what a quick reply ejrolon, i haven't even finished uploading my settings yet 0.O

Anyway that's exactly the culprit!! the image shows up fine now.
Geez, don't know how i missed that one, there's always this one small button left unchecked

I didn't use same pen color for uncut surfaces because i usually tweak it in the pen set

THANKS ALOT!
