ZONE CATEGORY COLOR ON PLAN

Llian
Advocate
There is no colour on plan; but when printed on black & white, it is showing a shade. Two questions:
1. How do I get to have different color on the plan?
2. Why there is a shade showing on the black& white print when there is no color showing on plan?

The zone colour is controlled by the settings for your zone categories.

You can create Graphic Override rules that make zones transparent, or have a solid foreground or background fill, etc.
There should be standard rules already set up, but if not have a look in the standard template and export them so you can import them into your files.

I would be guessing that in plan you are using a GO that is making the zones transparent.
But in the views that you are printing, they are using a different GO where the zone colours are showing.
