Colour In Tables

The default colours in which entities are displayed in Graphic Views can be overridden by explicitly defined colour. Explicit colour can be assigned to nodes,elements, members, materials, properties, and analysis stages.

In tables, the rows for objects that have explicit colour definition are highlighted with a colour-wash representation of the assigned colour.

Assignment of explicit colours in tables is by use of the Edit | Modify Colour menu command, having first selected the records that are to be modified. Modify Colour is also available on the right-click menu. This opens the Select Colour dialog. The selected colour is indicated by a colour swatch, and the derived colour-wash, by the partially hidden colour swatch. Setting the colour to undefined unsets the explicit colour assignment.

Note that explicit colour assignment can also by applied via Graphic Views.

In the element and member tables there is an option to check for and highlight incomplete elements. These are entities that refer to non-existent nodes or properties, or where topology items are repeated. Non-existent items are highlighted in red and repeated items are highlighted in blue.
