Hello,

I have replaced my curtain wall panels with a basic wall as I need to a stacked wall type.

My Basic wall I created has opaque glazing externally (11% transparency), an air gap(100% transparency) and plasterboard internally (0% transparency).

However, when I view my 3D views I can see all the way through the panel.

Any ideas why the plasterboard is transparent when it shouldnt be?

Cheers

Beau

Can be multiple things, did you installed the Web Updates? http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/item?siteID=123112&id=16841348

Do you have installed the latest graphic card drivers?

In that 3D view did you override that wall to "transparent" ?

I installed update release 2 the other day so I could get Revit cloud.

Graphics car is an NVIDIA Quadro 2000.

This issue shows up in all 3D views. The curtain wall - basic wall panel hasn't been overridden.

I ended up creating a curtain wall panel family with the elements stacked. Each element having thickness and material parameters. This resolved the issue.
