Stair Headroom Graphics

Is there a way to change the 3D and 2D representation of the Headroom Clearance option in AC23?
In section I would like to show a dashed line but no fill. For 3D I would like to change the orange to a light semi-transparent blue.

Hey Thomas, there's a similar thread posted on this already. Hopefully this can get turned into a Wish item.

Sorry Thomas, I might have posted it in the Developer forum. We definitely need a more parametric headroom component.

Yes I agree, this makes no sense to create something then each version not maintaining it or updating to what the users will use it for; it is said Archicad "made by architects" which ones?  I just do not understand why they would make this and not give the user options to change it; then not look through code books or drawings to see it always have a dashed line for it - almost at this point it was only thought of to develop for the crash collisions and that was it.
