How the various components drawn are depicted can be set in the preferences section. Each surface can be assigned to a particular preference. The first part of this preferences section applies mainly to the "Drawing" interface. It should be noted that "Color by Scale means" applies only to lines and not to text. The buttons are used to change the color, style, and layer that will be used when drawing in CAD.

Color By Slope

When this option is checked, a slope percentage must be defined for each color available. No negatives.
