Pro 7 is driving me crazy....

When I opened my plan I noticed that all of sudden the wall covering that I marked on the picture disappeared.
How I did this before:
I drew part invisible wall and part solid rail. I placed a soffit to make the shower glass and it worked. I had green tile on the wall of my shower and tan on the rest of the walls.
And now without doing any changing the part of the wall of the shower changed the color by itself. I did everything I could to fix that. I removed the solid rail and I drew invisible wall all the way but It didn't work.
I even restarted my computer but It didn't work. I had to break the wall to fix that.
By the Way, I also lost some tools of my toolbars. I had to customize my toolbars again.
What happened?

After I broke the wall.

The wall must be broken to allow the different material.

You couldn't put the green tile on just that section of wall in the shower if it was part of the orange wall behind the tub.

Yes, I know that. But I didn't need to do this before. If you drew a invisible wall to close the room, all the walls are supose to be with the same material.
As you can see in the first picture, only two walls are covered with green tile and the multi color tiles strip. What I was wondering, why the wall changed. Why did I have to break the wall in order to get what I had before?
I solved the issue but something happened and I don't know what.

jc,

I don't understand.
What did you use the invisible wall for?
To closer off the shower?
Can you post a picture of that section of the plan?

[guapindaia]

I always used the invisible wall to close a room, so that I can change the walls and floor materials and keep the room open to other rooms. Look the kitchen picture.
The Picture in the thread # 1 I did with invisible walls so that I can place a frameless glass shower door made with soffit.

Hi jc,

But the problem wall was the block or concrete wall in the shower wasn't it?

I have tried and tried to re-create your problem but I can't duplicate it.

If you want me to take a look at the plan make a copy and email it to me.
Send me a Private Message and I will give you my email address.

Rick,
I don't know what the problem was. I always use exterior concrete wall because here in Brazil we build exterior wall with concrete block. The same way they build in Florida. I think the problem is my computer for changing.
Don't worry about it. I fixed it breaking the wall.
Rick, I have one question. How do I change the thickness of a concrete wall?
Here in Brazil is 0.150m and the program default is 0.200m.
My architect said if I don't wanna pay him to do from scratch I have to change all the walls (interior and exterior) because they are not accurate.

jc,

Go into the Wall Type Definitions dialog box. (see attached)

You could also make one of the walls in you list of wall types a block wall by changing the material from the Library. (see 2nd thumbnail)

Thanks. It worked. BTW, I sent you a private message.

Great, glad to hear that helped.
I replied to your email.
Looking forward to receiving your plan.
