Change the color of a model object

You can change the color of individual objects in a model by modifying their class. Alternatively, you can use the object representation settings to specify colors for entire object groups.

The possible class numbers range between 0 and 14, and result in different colors as follows:

Class numbers above 14 produce the same colors as 1...14. For example, class numbers 2, 16, 30, 44, and so on, all result in red.

You can also use class numbers to define the default color of pour objects and pour breaks.

To change the color and class of a part or reinforcement:
