Changing line colour

Why not red.PNG

Some things have always bugged me with Archicad. For example, I have a 2D line used construction lines which need to be a different colour from other lines so that they can be distinguished. I want to use red for this line and have this selected. Easy, right, and obvious from what I've done? But it doesn't change and stays black. In fact, I can't change its colour. There must be another place or process to change it. Could someone please remind me where this is?

It could be a variety of things driving that outcome.

Thanks Nathan

I have tried these - no response. There must be another setting somewhere. I've had no problem with older Archicad versions.

Have you tested the OOTB template vs your template. I am going to guess it is a bug because I can see Trace Reference isn't being used and it is in the model space and isn't graphically overridden as a line on a master layout.
