I recently updated my Rhino 6 to 7 and have been having problems with the material settings and render mode ever since. The default and custom materials that have WHITE color settings are overridden to BLACK whenever I open a file.
Whenever I needed to render in Enscape, I have been manually changing everything back to white, but when I save the file and reopen the next day, the colors are back to black again. I have tried to reset the materials to the rhino default, but whenever I restart Rhino, it’s back to a black custom color setting that I never created.
It seems like my Layer Colors are overriding my material colors because for example, pink layer object with white material color becomes pink whenever I restart Rhino. Is there a way to change it so that doesn’t happen?
Hello,
Yes, it’s pasted below. (In addition, when I change the material type to Enscape and change the settings there, it saves correctly. It’s only when the material type settings are in Rhino)

Hello- I do not know how remote desktop figures into all of this, but a test would be to disable Enscape in Options > Plug-ins page, close and restart Rhino - set material colors as you like them and then close and reopen the file - does it stay put?
Hi,
It happens when I am not remote as well. I’ve tried restoring Rhino to default, including disabling Enscape, closing, restarting and it’s the same problems with the wrong material colors.
Hello- can you please try with a brand new file, please use the No Template setting in starting the new file - make a couple of boxes or something, and set up materials, and see if that sticks?
Hi Pascal,
I made a test file and the materials stuck.
Is the problem in the file itself? Because it’s multiple files that I’ve worked on and saved that have the problem, but when I open files that my coworkers have created, the materials are all correct.
Also, when they open the files that I am having issues with, it renders correctly. Thanks
Can you run Audit3dmFile on a (preferably small) file that does not work right, and on the test file and send me the text from each of those, or, post the files here or send them to tech@mcneel.com, with a link from this topic in your comments…
It doesn’t look like we were able to reproduce this issue.
Please run the Rhino SystemInfo command and copy-paste the result here.
Also, if you can create a simple file that shows this behavior on your machine, please upload the 3dm file here.
