Symbology Override

The Symbology Override tool allows you to assign a color to a group of elements. For example, you could select all existing roads (using CTRL+E) and assign them a slight color tint or group elements associated with the same scenario.

The Symbology Override tab gives you the ability to create a named symbology override from elements selected in the model using Elements Selection Tool.
