Could it be as simple as flipping the wall in plan?

Hi,

As @PhilvK says you can easy locate the exterior side in plan with the two arrows. The two arrows are always from the exterior side of the wall.

by the wall type definition the materials are placed in the correct order and the wall is positioned correctly so flipping the wall would not have the correct result it does not seem to be recognizing the right image applied to the material

Hi,

The Appearance asset is displayed in realistic visual style and in rendering. The image above (in the first post) is shaded. So you can see only the Shading from the left image with the Surface Pattern.
