View Appearance of Sub-Assemblies in Top Assembly

Is there a way (easy/quick) of restoring View Appearance of sub-assembly in top assembly.  Each sub seems loses the view fidelity as it gets inserted in an higher assembly.  Maybe there is an Options tip box that controls this?

Eg:

sub: note the shop floor and the painted columns

top assembly:  washed out appearance
