Side view of Glass is Grey, I want it to be transparent. I cannot understand how to make that happend. Did I assign the materials wrong? I guess not...?

What else could it be?

Hi @Anonymous

 

Everything looks fine under your Material Graphics, just make sure that the "Glass" Material is the actual one used in the curtain wall or windows family. It might be that you need to change the material graphics settings for the one below. (Depicted in you image). 

 

If you already checked that, then the other possibility is that there is a Cut Pattern Override assigned to your windows category in your project. 

 

Go to your Visibility/Graphic Overrides (VV or VG) and go down to your Windows Category, is there possibly a Cut Pattern assigned as indicated below?

If there is, Clear the Overrides. Let me know if that was the problem.  

I hope this helps! Smiley Happy

I am using glass as a wall. Could I make it non-grey?

See the pictures for my current settings.

Did you have a look at your Cut Pattern Overrides? You could even set an
override as I indicated to ensure that the Glass/Window/Glazing displays in
the way/color of your choice.
