Placed Elevation on Layout

MichelleA
Newcomer

Hi 

 

I have been using the Fill and Line tool (in colour) in my elevations.

But as soon as I am placing my elevations in a layout, it comes out grey / black /white. And I would really like to use my colours.

What setting do I have to change? 

 

Thank you in advance

It could be controlled in 2 different places.

 

You should be creating a 'View' of your elevation in the View Map.

That View has settings which tells it which pen set to use.

That is the first place you can control the colours.

 

You should then be placing that View on the layout as a Drawing (with the Drawing tool).

That Drawing also has settings where you can control the pen set used.
