Canted wall surfaces

The faces of my canted walls have the same surface in 3d, even when I select different materials in the Selection Settings. Any suggestions?

Do you possibly have the Monochrome Model box checked for the 3D Style you are using?

Monochrome Model is not selected and there are no graphic overrides.

No Graphic Overrides but how about any Model Override Surfaces ?

Isn't that what they are changing Steve?

If it is not a Graphic Override, then maybe it is a Renovation Filter that is active.

I don't know, but the surfaces seen in the 3D window can be changed in several places that could be referred to as Selection Settings.

Here's an image with a canted will and a non-canted wall with the same paremeters, with a reflection in a mirror of the other side.

Canted wall: All surfaces appear to be the same surface (Stucco Tuscan III), along with the wall settings. I could not find any renovation filter setting that would change the surface of canted walls, and I certainly didn't create one. In any case, this wall is designated as existing, for the sake of this exercise.

It doesn't seem to matter if the wall is a composite or a plain wall.

Maybe if you could save a MOD file (from plan) or a PLA (don't include the library) of just these two walls and attach it here (you will need to ZIP the file), we could have a look at it.
