@GHASEM_ARIYANI Have you posted this to the Revit Architecture forum? If not, I may move this to that forum to get support on it.

I can't replicate.

@GHASEM_ARIYANI I wonder if it's a graphics issue? Does it go away if you zoom in or out?

Actually, I can replicate. Not a problem though. Air with no Transparency corrects.

Please Change Material Air Layer to "Air".

GHASEM_ARIYANI — Tue, 20 Apr 2021 19:59:31 GMT

yes. I know Air without transparency is OK.

But I say why should this be a problem when there are solid layers behind an air layer

no, I think it is a bug for how to display the wall layer.

@GHASEM_ARIYANI : You seem to be implying that I didn't read the question carefully. Which one of my posts signaled that? The one where I said that I can replicate the issue?

I am guessing that the issue is that the tapered face after the air layer, should be showing, instead Revit tends to show the background and this face is invisible. This same issue occurs with vertical walls(likely slanted too - not tested) if a middle layer is "air". I think what @GHASEM_ARIYANI is after is to view the face after the air/cavity layer like this screen shot.

Currently no solution. This will require a fix from Autodesk

Yes, I understand the issue. I'll bet it is related to another 2022 issue*** that I and other Users have experienced. I'm hoping it can be resolved in the first update. In the mean time, removing Transparency from the Air Asset or using Parts seems to be a fix in this case.

This isn't a bug. This exist in previous version as well.

If you set the wall transparency to 100%, this is why you are able to see thru your wall cavity.

If you change it to 0, it will show up as solid.

This is a generic issue for air layers in walls in realistic views when cut by a section box. It goes back to at least 2020 and I bet much farther than that. I have filed it to be addressed.
