Folks: I rendered this in lightworks (sun off) using the sky and sun objects. I can't seem to stop it washing out:

The intensity of both lamps is dwon to 15% and I have darkened the roof material for the lightworks engine. But this doesn't seem to effect the results. It's a large file and takes a long time to render. Have I exceeded some threshold?

Hello Barry,

Attaching screen shot for 3d projection settings for the same.
I set everything default to solve this issue.

Regards,

Ratna

What are your colour and intensity settings for the sunlight and ambient light in 3D Projection Settings... > More Sun...
I am guessing that you have blue colours set for these.

Thanks to everybody for reply,

In this image there is no solid operation and other customization.
It is just a simple wall having internal material as plain blue color, edge material having brick white and external side i.e. reference side having surface stucco white .

But in 3d window it seems only blue color to all side, but after rendering it is ok.

My NVEDIA card is updated regularly.

This problem is for 3d window only and all material setting in material editor is set correctly , Actually I kept them as default.

Material assignments are relative to the Reference Line side of the Wall.
You should check where the Reference Line for each of the Walls is.

It's not very clear what the problem actually is! What do the red circles show?

Are you saying that some the walls display the incorrect material despite being set correctly in the wall settings dialog?

Have you performed an SEO to the walls perhaps, as there is an option for the material to be inherited from the Operator?

Hello,

So many views , No answer yet?

This is major issue for me because this happens only on some computer not others, even if my computer settings are same as others.

Attaching another screen shot for reference in which External stucco material is seen but taken internal material color.

Regards,

Ratna
