Model Colors / Design Colors toggle

Last updated: February 01, 2022
Icon Description
A 'Model Colors' / 'Design Colors' toggle button and associated menu items have been added to the RAM Concrete modules. Both the RAM Concrete Column and RAM Concrete Beam modules change the display colors of the members to reflect their current design status. Clicking the 'Change to Model Colors' button, or selecting 'Colors - Model Colors' from the 'View' menu will switch display colors back to the default colors assigned for each type. This can make it easier to identify the specific type of member by its color.

While the Model Colors/Design Colors button appears on the toolbar, it will not change the color of the members. This is because no design results are available in analysis mode.

Icon Description
After clicking the 'Change to Model Colors' button, the button graphic will toggle to the 'Change to Design Colors' button. Clicking this button or selecting 'Colors - Design Colors' from the 'View' menu will toggle the color display back to 'design' colors.

The graphic displayed on the button reflects the current model display colors, which are the opposite of the mode that will be toggled to by clicking the button.
