Problem with surface patterns of floors in different visual styles and views

Hello,
I have a problem that floors I create look doesn't look as they should in different views. I made materials which have solid fill as surface patterns. The floors should be coloured like this only in visual style: consistent colors, but in my model they appears very randomly - they appear in hidden lines and wireframe, also in consistent colors in some views but when I apply the same view template with consistent colors to other views they don't appear in right way (they are just white, no fill). When I zoom in and out in the view where the colors don't how up although it has visual style: consistent colours, the colours show up for a second and then dissapear.

Screenshot: Material options

Screenshot: colours visible even if its wireframe visual style

I also happens that some floors in one view get colour and some don't even if they have same family type. I dont have any visual overrides on floors either.

I feel like the problem is more about some malfunction about visual styles then floor types and materials itself, but I didn't come to a solution. Anyone had something similar?

I don't understand the issue. I clearly see that you have a SOLID Surface Pattern. If you don't want it shown in the View, override the graphics in the the View (e.g. remove the Surface Pattern).

...maybe I'm misunderstanding. I thought you were talking about Solid Pattern display in Wireframe. Seems now that you are having graphic issues in general. Is that right? If so, post the file and lets see if we can be replicate the issues on our end and find the problem.

Set foreground pattern to None and background pattern to use the solid color.
