color changes from soffett tool

[dugnello]

I have had this problem with cheif 97 & 6.0.
I know of no short way to describe it.
I will be detailing the 3-D exteriorof a building and using the Soffett tool for various items, a run of solider brick, or a ledge under a window, I use different materials with the Soffett to acheive vairous results. Sometimes when I adjust the color of a given soffett/material I will get a color change in several areas of the plan. Opaque windows will change to the new color, Stucco, interior walls, counter tops, furiture, ect. Some sofett items will change to the new color and some do not.
What am I doing wrong? how can I keep items/colors seperated? Thanks for any Help .D.
