Hi David,
The dialog is correct, this is how AC works. Greyed settings don’t reflect the current state of the object, they show what will happen when the override is enabled. For example complex profile walls can have more than three different surfaces, composite wall edges can have more than one surface.
New walls will get the tool default settings, including surface overrides. Could you describe the workflow to get the “ghost” that is not correct?
