    Is this the effect you were looking for?

    Is the option available in 2012? I used 2013. I don't have 2012 loaded on my home computer.

    No problems that I can see.
    Unless you are unaware that each of these views can have different visual style settings.
    Left click on one you wish to change, then in the right click shortcut menu select EDIT VIEW.
    Then take a look at the image...

    right...but the style does not change...it has no shade colour...it still remain in black and white
    Where I'm wrong may be I changed same setting...

    try to hit shaded with visible lines

    Hi Dadgad...
    see what I mean...if I try to apply any colours I always see the view like black and white but If you try to copy and past the draw in a new template it works again...why

    I see what you mean, I also did this using 2013, like ReMark,
    but I can't get it to display any shaded coloration either.

    Have you experimented with the right click (on the Layout tab) option,
    EXPORT LAYOUT TO MODEL.
    If you use that it is sort of like a quicker version of SOLPROF.
    That won't fix the issue you are having here, but it is interesting.
