Visual Style Shaded - Same element looking different in different plan views

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,

This is a new Project, no view templates or overrides applied, just the levels, grids and floors

I placed one floor on the ground Level 0 then copied to clipboard and pasted aligned to selected Levels 1 & 2 (I have 1 more Level 3 which is a not a building Level and has no plans)

The floor on Level 1 Looks ok but the floor on Level 2 does not look ok!...They Show in different Colors! Only in plan views

1. they are all same floor type
2. All has the same render appearance
3. No filter no overrides nothing applied at all
4. No masked7filled regions
5. no transparancy
6. All same phase
7. all views are set to Shaded

In 3D (also shaded view) they look the same Color, also in section...I tried changing the render appearance to a different Color but that made it even worse!! light colors do not even Show on Level 2!

....I added a new Level above Level 2...same thing

....I added a new Level between Level 2 and 1 ... same thing

Only way I can see the colors is in Consistent Colors or render mode Or if I use really dark Colors in Appearance Settings.. I am still not sure how the other floors of the same type showing different!! If it is graphics Problem it should apply to all..or not?

Edit using revit 2016  update 6

Any Ideas what is wrong!!

@Anonymous  try to untick "use hardware acceleration" from options > graphics and see if helps. or try to updates your graphics card driver to the latest. thanks

@ennujozlagam I have already tried that, unchecked Hardware accel, closed Revit, restarted pc always same Thing

I tried more testing in a new Project in an attempt to get it to work...So

1. I added several levels
2. I placed a floor on Level 00
3. copied to Clip board
4. pasted aligned to all other levels

It seems to happen in a fixed rythem!!!

1. first pasted floor Looks OK (Colors in shaded mode)
2. second pasted floor Looks NOT OK (Colors in shaded mode not showing at all)
3. Third pasted floor Looks OK (Colors in shaded mode)
4. Forth pasted floor Looks NOT OK (Colors in shaded mode not showing at all)

And so on ...the more I add Levels it follows same rythem!

I tried not to copy paste...I placed the floors Level by Level and same issue!!!

@Anonymous hello, try to update your graphics card driver to the latest. i tried to replicate what you have done and i didn't experienced what you had experienced. check if we have the same build Revit 2016.thanks

It is most likely a View template issue...although you didn't apply any, it could be a template related thing. Try the following:

1. Go to a plan view which appears OK as you described it
2. On the view tab > graphics > view template > create template from current view
3. Give it a name ... Click ok ...just follow dialogues don't change anything
4. Go back to offending view
5. Apply the view template u just created and Your floors should look ok now...
6. On the properties palette of the same view >>> under identity data >> view template >>> set it back to none... Floors should remain shaded as desired.


I have seen this behavior on various templates (ex: the Canadian vs US vs German) on a US template creating new levels with plan views would default to the same settings of the original levels' plan views and all would look the same. On the other templates NOT.

Why? I'm not sure (different countries different pre-sets i guess) for a definite answer you need to ask Autodesk or stick to the US template

Hi,

I think this is related to sun and light settings in your view, Just follow below steps:

1. Go to Graphic display options in view Properties

2. go to Lighting.

3. Sun setting: select "Lighting"

It's just a simple solution
