Color coding of property sets

Property sets can be coded by colors. If the property color mode is turned on, assignment of property set to each part of the model is distinguished by the color used for rendering the part either in wireframe or in shaded image. Any parts without property assignment are re n d e red in gray. The default color codes are predefined for the first 16 property sets. The color of each set can be altered using the color palette functions of the corresponding operating system.
