You guys are starting to make sense. Contributions from
tuna1957, ianT, john_drivenupthewall are helpful and appreciated. Although I don’t have a grasp on it yet, I can see it and am headed towards it. “It” being a comprehension of the problem. “The problem” being a lack of understanding of this functionality of SU to assign colors of parent container to new faces created within it. The thread

Default color changed

My default color seems to have changed form white to yellow. Any surface which was not deliberately colored something else seems to have gone yellow. I have thousands of wall etc. How can I get them back without coloring them all in groups? Fortunately, I don’t have to do every wall, but every component grouping at once. But this is still something that would take many many hours and I would probably still miss a lot in what is now an 87-story building. What to do??

is also well into this problem, and is, I’m having that feeling, going to prove helpful ironing out my “problem”.

I’ll have to get back to this thread to report what I figure out is going on. It’s definitely one of these 2 things.

Sidenote: While reading the last line of ianT’s most recent comment, the last 4 words changed right before my eyes. Nothing else on my screen, just those last 4 words. He must have posted an edit right then.
Fascinating…
