Wall Color Issue??
A strange thing is showing up in all my drawings. Some walls of same type take the default colors and the other, approximately half, appear black or very dark. I saw this in a new CMU wall I was drawing, but curiously it now appears in any previous drawing I look at. In the case here, below, it's CMU, but seems to happen on any type wall and even shows this way on older drawings where they were fine before. Any ideas?

I may be missing something here, but in the image you posted the wall appears to be darker due to shading and not anything wonky in the wall definition.

Looks like the walls in question are in shadow, which version are you using?

I'm on X5 Scott. I'm familiar with the shadow between walls and this seems much more pronounced to me. I'm wondering if perhaps sun angle or something else I did globally has changed the way I see this. This example I show above is not as bad as it appear on some drawings where it seems almost black, compared to the normal grey CMU or same for a sheetrock wall.
The reason I think it "might" be related to the sun angles is that last project I worked on was covered porch patio / deck and I was messing with the settings to best display the exterior views.Chief Architect X4, X5

I think that may have been it (sun angle). My last sun angle was an intentional late day winter setting and that seems to really impact the floor overview render which uses the "sun" for light. Thanks folks, and as always, I keep learning new things.
