Hi everyone. i've searched the forum. so far all i've read is 'paint it!'. thats not an option, its showing the wrong material. here are the facts put as simply as i can:

1. there are three layers to the wall

- concrete (concrete patern)

- air space (no pattern)

- insulation (hatch with yellow)

2. I made a reveal for the wall, when i add it the surface of the concrete shows yellow, not the concrete surface pattern.

3. take my word for it:

- the concrete material has no yellow in it

- the profile reveal is only cutting through the concrete portion of the material

4. I've copy/pasted wall into a new empty file and the problem persists. 

5. if i remove the insulation layer (which has the yellow) then the concrete no longer shows yellow

6. see attached...

so how can i make this display with the conrete surface pattern instead of yellow?

Follow the advice you read - PAINT IT!.   The yellow you see is something in other settings but it will never be the surface pattern.

A solution would be to use a stacked wall - 3 different thickness - then only cut the slope and paint that one surface.

Wall's surface pattern goes through the reveal in elevation view

Can't devide window top reveal (can't apply material on outside reveal)

reveal wall subcategory parameter?

Parameters that don't act to constrain

'Surface Pattern' and corresponding 'Region Fill' appear differently.
