Hi,
Pardon me to bother you,
it appears like addictive properties of light will come as a more applicable reference here than pigment base mixing for Archicad 11,(i stand to be corrected), i am particularly interested in locating these color: black, green,blue, red in pens and color dialogue box of Archicad.though i wish i am more sensitive to differentiate colors.
, may be using a particular pre-define pen set as an example.
How do you relate (255,0,0) number combinations e.t.c. in identifing color form the 256 list ?.
Cheers
Femi

Femi,
You seem to be thinking about this the wrong way round.
Each pen number is usually used for the same specific purpose on each pen set generally. For example pen no. 27 (on mine) is always for cut structural walls, pen 23 always for openings. What colour you want each pen is entirely down to the purpose you need it for.
If you need a pen set for drafting/modelling you would usually want each type of element to have a different contrasting colour. This helps you to see at a glance whether you are using the correct pen for the purpose, and clearly defines the different types of elements on plan.
When you want to print a plan, you should set the drawings to use a printing pen set that generally has most of the pens set to black. You would not generally use this pen set to draft/model with.
You can also set up different pen sets to highlight or emphasize any particular information that you want to convey. Maybe setting all the structural walls to be outlined in bright red, for example. This can be done by simply copying the printing pen set, and then changing the pen for the structural walls to red and increasing the thickness.
This arrangement gives a lot of flexibility in how things can be displayed without having to keep changing the individual settings of all the elements.
It sounds like you want to set up a high contrasting pen set for modelling purposes. Simply set up a pen set where the

. This is a fundamental part of outputting drawings in ArchiCAD, and you should have it absolutely clear in your head how it works before commencing any major work, as correcting it may be complex!
I hope the above ramble may be useful to you! Best of luck!

Pete,
Thanks for sharing that, one of the reasons why i ask the questions is that i want to identify the primary (unadultrated) colors in Archicad 11 as a reference point, most especially as i have preference colors for Building Elements in CAD, and i will prefer not to use non-primary colors (or modified colors) for certain purpose while thinking i am using primary colors ...........................

Still looking?
