Transparent Display of Isometric

I am having a problem with a model in Revit displaying as though semi-transparent.   It is a Model with the following 3 linked Revit 2021 models
  1. a site plan    with #2 and #3 Revit linked in
  2. a building (west, left side)   with #1 and #3 Revit linked in
  3. a building (east, right side)    with #1 and #2 Revit linked in
when viewed in #3's model, we get this awful semi-transparent view... 
 
When viewed in the site plan #1, everything is fine.    What is causing this?   I've tried turning off the linked-in models in #3, still get the weird semi-transparent look (see notes on the jpg) listed.  
 
I've tried turning off the linked models.   No help.   
 
 
Can't turn off the offending layers via VG... it's everything.   
 
What is controlling the semi-transparent display problem?

you need to delete your 3d view

and create a new one

 

(delete all views that are having that issue - just create/replace them with new ones)

 

that's it

Yes that solved it:  as recommended, 

  1. saved the display settings via template
  2. deleted the view,
  3. created a new iso view
  4. done! 

Thanks

I notice your target and eye value is massive. This usually cause your 3d to go haywire. To fix it, I usually use the viewcube and click on the isometric. It will reset the 3d back to normal and you don't need to delete the 3d view.

maybe a product of having brought the topo model in from the surveyor's / civil model where the origins are a mile away.   Coordinating with civil plans - another problem for another day.    without moving the origin, how could it be much different?  maybe no fractions?   Thanks for the input that would be an easy fix, will try it next time.
