Material on two coplanar walls rendered differently

Published date: 2008-Aug-15
ID: TS1087009

Applies to:
Revit® Architecture 2009

Issue

You created two walls that are on the same plane and assigned the same material to both. However, when you rendered the scene, the two walls were displayed differently, with one wall appearing darker than the other.

Solution

This issue occurs when the two walls are not drawn in the same direction. For example, one wall is drawn from left to right and the other is drawn from right to left. In this case, the material mappings are inverted, which affects how materials are rendered.

To correct this issue, draw both walls in the same direction.
