Panels showing in shaded surfaces

Hi,
Nice weather, huh?
Can someone show and old novice why I have panels showing in my shaded surfaces, and tell me why the surface is so highly reflective, plz?
Direction to a video somewhere will be fine.
Best,
Tom M.

From the thumbnail it appears you had flat shading enabled, though that doesn’t seem to be the case in the file, maybe that setting doesn’t save. Or your video card is dying, please post your -SystemInfo.

Well your nvidia drivers are a few years old, I don’t know if that’s the issue but I certainly didn’t see the problem on my machine.

Thanks.

I re booted and got shaded image, no panels.
What surface settings are giving me the extreme reflection?

Hi Tom -

image

Judging by that thumbnail, you seem to have modified the default Shaded display mode. Does resetting that resolve this? If not, please post a picture of what you see on your screen.

Reset Shading Display to default resolved the issue.
Thanks y’all…
