Color Library

The color library is a dialog window used to manage colors for 3D objects.

It consists of a toolbar for managing the color palette, a list of existing colors and an area for selecting and setting a color.

The color palette is loaded from the system file usercolors.ini and is stored independently of the current project. Changing the color palette therefore affects both future and existing projects.

System Colors

The gray-shaded colors are system colors. You can change the color value, but you cannot change the order or delete the colors.

Remember that system colors are often set as the default color in the settings for various parts.
