Skylight Opening Pen Colour

Chris Pooley

Hi All,

 

I am wondering where to change the pen colour for the skylight hole, I am not a fan of Brown.  At first I thought it was like the cavity door outline in a wall where I would change the profile of the roof from a composite to a basic, and back to a composite, but that has not worked.

In my roof selection settings, there is no brown pens....

Likewise in my skylight selection settings:-

Anyone have any ideas?

 

Thank you 🙂

You should find it is the roof overhead line pen colour.

You may have to switch your roof to 'overhead all' or 'projected' to change it, then change it back to 'outlines only'.
