Hi, i hope someone has an explanation for this odd thing. Our office has a template that we start new projects with. I was setting up a new layer in one of the elevations. Went into that view and started laying out the floor plans of that level. I switched back to a previous level that i had already layed out, and noticed that the shading of the walls was lighter than the new level. All the settings are the same, using the exact same wall type as in the lower levels. And the differences in these shades is visible  when i plot them as well. I have looked and gone every possible setting/ thought i could think of.

Anyone have any idea why this is happening?

Thanks

Tim

thanks for the reply. got it figured out. I right clicked on a level that was "normal." Selected "Create View Template" made a template, then right clicked on the floor plan that was "not normal", right clicked and clicked on "Apply View Template", and selected the template that i had just created, and voila!! it looked like the rest of the layers.

 When i say right clicked on the layer, i am clicking the layer name in the project browser window. Just to clarify.

Hope this helps anyone else who may have the same issue.
