Area colouring and numbering

Hello everyone

I am getting this very strange problem.

I have a 3D model with a large number of Areas. In the middle of a /prep7, I switch on the Area numbering from the Menu, but upon 'aplot'

1) All areas are listed as A1
2) All areas are the same colour

I did not join the areas together or anything of the sort.

With 'vplot', area numbering works, colours do not (even when selected)

Has anyone ever encountered this? It has never happened to me except in this particular analysis.

Thanks for any comments

Hi,
check that you don't have any kind of "Elements numbering" active. If so, correct numbering of 3D-model entities will be inactive.

Regards
