Adam_Gibson Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Anyone have an idea why some walls glow in the dark? I think it's happened before but it's a mystery. All the wall types and materials are the same for all the walls but some look like they're emitting light. It's odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DzinEye Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 LOTS of priors on this issue... 9X out of 10 its due to the walls penetrating the bld'g envelope and thus being directly lit by the sun. Check for that, then if that doesn't work, dial the sun waaaay down to something like 1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam_Gibson Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 That makes sense. It may have something to do with the sun. I dialed it back and it's improved. However, some of the walls this happens to are interior walls. It's even happening with some casing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any number of things can cause this, often from user error with a slight workflow adjustment needed. Happens most often in template plans, being too far from 0,0 origin, building envelop not properly closed, improper wall designations etc. Too many to list, best to post a .plan file.

Adam_Gibson Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 The plan is too big to attach but here's a link for anyone willing to take a look. https://www.dropbox.com/s/iks7ssfznbsuez0/Untitled 3.zip?dl=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light comes in to the interstitial space and the wall tops pick up the sunlight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
