Objects in the standard library tend to use particular pens for various parts of the object.

In your template, you will need to set up a custom pen set that changes the colours of those pens to the colours that you want tho use (remember to also set the pen thickness).

You then use that custom pen set for your documentation.

Remember this will also affect all other tools as well (walls, slabs lines, etc.) that use those pens.

Otherwise you have to create favourites for every object that sets the pens to the pens you want to use.

Your final option, which is not a very good option, is to edit the default settings of every object in the default library and change them to the pen colours you want to use.

A great deal of work, and it means you have to repeat this every time the library is updated or there is a new version.

Hello beratfazlija
You have 3 Options.

1.Change the color of your pen set. The column number 4 is the one that the objects have by default.
2.Change the color of each object, set and save as favorite
3.Create a graphical override to change the pen color of objects.
Choose the one that works best for you.
