I have an instance of a Block and an object (Group) created from the same block instance. In Pen mode, the Grouped object is displayed differently than the block instance. I can upload the file, but thought I’d look to see if there was an obvious setting I was missing first?
here are the 2 objects: the one at the back is the object created as a “Group” from the Block Instance and the one in the front is the Block instance itself:
realized Block instance and Group Object (created from same Block instance) were not on the same layer. So, I moved Block Instance to the same layer as Group Object. now the resultant “Artistic” view, while still not the same for both objects, it has also c hanged to make the Block instance a little transparent… i.e:
I don’t think so Dan…This looks more like issues with Shadows and possibly the Skylight… Pen mode has shadows OFF by default, Artistic mode has them ON…thus, the difference. My guess is if you simply tick the “Shadows” checkbox in the display panel while viewing Pen mode, the same issue will show up.
@pharris65 Could you please upload your test file?
