object viewer has a grid display

Hello, I am somewhat new to civil 3d and I am wondering how to get this grid display off of my object viewer? I just want to view in normal conceptual or shades of gray. I tried changing it to these but nothing changes.

When your in the object viewer try changing the visual style in the upper left corner of the window.

What is it that you are displaying in the Object Viewer? If it's a TIN surface, then the different visual styles (as shown by @user181) should change the display. It sounds like you've already tried to change these so that would indicate that what you are viewing is not a Civil 3D surface. When you select it and type LIST, what is shown? If it's a surface, it should show "AECC_TIN_SURFACE". If it shows something else, let us know what it is and we'll be better able to assist.
