Wall sweep material problem

Hello,
I have applied a material to a wall sweep, but whenever the sweep turns a corner the material flips upside down.
See the attached image. Note that the frieze is supposed to be on top.
Does anyone have a fix for this ?
Thanks,
JF

You should not be seeing this behavior. Have you tried adding the sweep to the first one you placed?
1. Place the first sweep.
2. Select the sweep and a new toolbar will appear giving you an option to add/remove walls
3. Select the other walls.
Hope that helps.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately this doesn't solve the problem. Also this behavior isn't constant. I thought that all the sweep segments going north / south had the correct material and the east/ west ones were flipped but actually it's pretty random. All the segments which are paralell to the first one picked show correct and there's an even money chance that perpendicular ones will flip. But not all the time. I have tried everything including upgrading my display drivers and turning hardware acceleration on and off. Nothing has solved this and I cannot find any similar error reports anywhere.
If you have any further suggestions I'd be happy to hear them.
