How do you view the same color applied to zone categories in the 3D window?

You mean how do you apply the same colors to your Zones in the 3D Window as you see in the floor plan?

yet another simple, unfulfilled wish .. you cannot simply use the Zone category color as the color in 3D. 3D appearance is controlled by the material assigned to the Zone, so you would need to make a set of new materials with colors to match your Category colors. Pointless duplication i know ... an option to use Material or Category color would be handy.
