Existing elements are different shades of gray

[mattDCBLP]

I am working in a floor plan that is in the New Construction phase.  Existing elements are showing up correctly as gray, but many of them are a different, darker shade of gray than normal.  In the attached picture you can see a mixture of dark and light gray elements.  I do not understand why the difference in hue- any explanations?

The darker ones look more like New...What Phase filter do you have on? Can you set to Show Previous to verify if all are same phase "Exiting"

1. Which View Display do you have on?
2. Any underlays set to view?
3. Check Phasing Overrides (Cut Patterns)

View Phase Filter=Show Complete?  

..betcha it's Show Previous + New

[mattDCBLP]

The Phase Filter is set to Show Previous + New, when setting it to Show Previous the different shades of gray remain- I can confirm all gray walls (regardless of hue) are set to Existing.  There are no underlays, display model is set to normal.

Check view's filters see if any overrides for certain wall elements.

Change the Material under Phasing Graphic Overrides

Can you check Phasing if Cut Pattern overrides are defined properly? 

set foreground invisible and Background solid grey

[mattDCBLP]

There's no filters for walls in the model.

Tried this out, still showing different shades of gray.

Create a new plan view of the level (do not duplicate), set the phase status and phase filter to identical to the faulty view.  What do you see?

Gotta love the guessing game without a model to check lol

1. Are they in a Linked model?
2. If yes is the Link display set to by link or by host?
   • If by Link;  does it have matching Phase overrides?
   • If by Host;  are the phases mapped properly

After doing this, the elements are all the same shade.

Was this all about a "bad" view?  Duplicate View is right as rain?

Yeah.  So these walls are darker because they have been Overridden in View.  Select them, right click, Override Graphics in View, By Element..., Reset.

[mattDCBLP]

Hmm, not sure how that happened but this worked as well. Thanks

I don't think it was a bad view. I think you had the View's Visual Style set to Shaded with Edges.
