Custom - Pen Sets

Eman — Fri, 31 Jan 2025 14:31:59 GMT

Hi,

I've been trying to create my own pen sets but I still cannot do it!

Example I want to change the door or other objects colors from orange to blue and save it to my pen sets.

Go to the menu called "Document" and select "Pensets"

Then follow the instructions in the link below

Hi Fuzzytnth3 and thanks for your reply.

But in that picture how can I change color for a specific item such as door or a window?

I still cannot do it!

You change which pen an object or door uses within it's settings dialogue.

Select your Door then Cmd+T or use the menu command as shown in the linked screenshot below then access the "Floor Pans and Section" settings

Also keep in mind that you can change the appearance of any element using Graphic Overrides without having to edit actual element pen settings .

An example here where the Renovation Status in combination with Graphic Overrides was used to colour the Model.
