The following options are available:
● Press the appropriate colored buttons next to Sky, Land, Links/Areas or
Marking to call the Color selection window and select a specific color for
this portion of the model display on screen.
● Use display type colors:
If this option has been checked, each link/connector and walkable
construction element is colored according to its display type (except in
2D mode during a simulation run).

ramps/stairways are painted with the color selected for Links/Areas.

display type and global coloring.
● SET DEFAULT COLORS resets the colors to the program defaults.
The color chosen for Links/Areas is always used for simulation and
animation in 2D graphics.

color is not checked. For obstacles, the Land color is used in this case.
The Sky color is visible in 3D graphics mode only.
Colors for vehicles or pedestrians are set in a different way, cf. section
4.2.2.
The colors of the nodes in the network are neither defined by the user nor
set due to display type. The color of a node represents the node’s
properties, cf. section 12.3.2.3.
● Marking: The link/connector colors differ according to the values of the
selected attribute.
