If transparency is turned off completely, furniture turns opaque white as expected.</P><P>- Furniture families are a mixed bunch - some have masking regions built in, some have geometry visible in plan, but both are behaving in the same way.</P><P>- View range cut plane is at +1.2m so above the furniture.</P><P>- Have tried raster and vector PDF prints, no difference in the output.</P><P>- The model has been upgraded from 2022 to 2023 - would that have made a difference?
