Mass Objects - How do I change the Colors?

[saeborne]

Hi All,

I'm trying to create a very schematic massing diagram for a building. Each and every mass I create comes in as purple. I can't figure out how to change the colors of each mass.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Sae.

If you look at the properties of the mass object, you can change the material/color

Sae,
Look under Settings > Materials > Default Mass

I typically create 3 or 4 Duplicates with alternate colors and make sure these get copied into my Templates. Then create a Mass. Do a Properties on the mass. Under Materials, it will say 'Default'. Click this and assign the proper material you've created with the new color.

Happy coloring.

Thanks for the reply...

Unfortunately, there is no Material parameter under the property window for my Mass Objects.

Do I create a shared parameter?

Sae,
Sorry to disagree, but yes, there is - you just have to look a little deeper.

You have to Edit the Mass itself, (or while creating it) then do a Properties on each mass - Here is where you will find the Material property to edit.

EUREEKA!!!

I totally see it now... Hit properites while in the "Mass Edit Mode."

Thank you for all of your help, Kyle!
