megardiner Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 I'm in the beginning stages of a project that will have exposed HVAC ducting and I'm having a difficult time getting the color to change. It's something to do with lighting but I've tried everything I can think of. The ducting shows up as neon...I've tried changing the material, changing material properties, adding other lighting, adding a roof to the room. The weird thing is that the color on duct connectors and vents are fine, it's just the polyline moulding itself. GAH! Anyone know how to fix this?

CV-reno Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Same behavior in Standard view as well as PBR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megardiner Posted May 4, 2022 Author Share Posted May 4, 2022 Standard view is fine which leads me to believe it's a lighting/ reflection issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgardner Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Most likely it is sticking through a wall or ceiling/roof assembly and locking up the lighting from the sun. If you toggle the sun off and it goes away that is the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megardiner Posted May 4, 2022 Author Share Posted May 4, 2022 Ryan, that's what I though too but not the case. The problem does go away when I toggle the sun but then I don't get daylight showing through my windows. This might be a "beggars can't be choosers" situation.

CV-reno Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Just as test, eliminate the backdrop with sunlight on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericepv Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Sounds like a material properties issue (too much reflection) but hard to tell w/o seeing your settings.If you really want someone to help, post your plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
