Hi Eric,

I have a question regarding the colouring by element option.

If I select a surface and I go to colour and choose by element, does it colour in any order, if so what is the order, how do i find out what element is given what colour.

Thanks for your time

Thiru

Hi Thiru,

I'm not sure what you mean by "does it colour in any order", but the colors assigned to each element are described here:

and how you can change them is described here:
