Glass not displaying correctly in elevations

I have a users model where a curtain wall has Glass Curtain Door and sidelite. The Glass door displays as shaded but the sidelite does not. Is tehre a property that sets the display of the sidelite to match the door or the otherway around?

Well...you could always just switch the display mode to hidden-line instead of shaded.

 

Check inside the family of the door and note it's material setting. I mean not just the material name, but all the parameters it has under the graphics and the appearance tabs. Then check the same thing in the curtain panel family. Are they the same? I'm guessing not.

The Materails are all the same between each.

Just for kicks I copied the curtain wall to clipboard and pasted it into a OOTB template Commerical and then applied the same Material settings to the Glass.

The glass does not even shade under Hidden Line. Odd.

Nothing shades when on the hidden line setting. So that should make your materials all "white" in effect.

Thats true, Which is what makes this so odd. The image uploaded in my first post is set to hidden line. No filters, or overrides.  Copying and pasting to a new project makes it correct

Well no way now that I found in the project was a View Template called 1/8 - Elevation - Screen and applied it for desired result. No filters or overrides that I can tell.

Hey a colleague figured this out:

 

You may not expect that Walls would have anything to do with a Curtain Panel, but it does.

We were looking first in the Curtain Panels category then in the Windows category and there were no Overrides. We had to clear the override to hide the wall patterns in the Walls category. So that teh patten will show up.

 

Interesting was that?

I've discovered this weird, persistent glitch with glazing visuals in elevations in Revit.  I haven't exactly dialed in the cause of the problem because some of my work-arounds work sometimes, and sometimes they don't.  It has to do with the "Glass" material and how there's sometimes a disparity between the "Glass" material that's embedded in some families and the different appearance settings you establish in your own project.  Sometimes I would set the default material associated with the Glass Material Type/Instance parameter I set in the family to something other than "Glass" and then when I assign the "Glass" material to the parameter in my project it works, though sometimes this doesn't work.  

 

One fail-safe work-around I've seem to find is to duplicate the "Glass" material in my Revit Project with a new name, and then apply that to the Material Parameter for the family in my project and that seems to work.

Thank you for this. I literally spent an hour trying to figure out why some surface patterns weren't showing in elevation views and this cleared it up instantly.
