      Hi All, I was wondering of someone could recommend a good "Soften" style, style. I have sent my drawing to Layout to make some Construction Documents. The Images are Quite Color Intense. In stead of going back and tweek each material color individually, I would like to apply a style that would gently "Pastel" the colors so the are subtle, but still pop a little compared to just a black and white image.
      Thanks !!! Mattee

        I don't think that exists as style. You could do a translucent overlay in Layout but that would affect your linework as well. Or some way to overlay a linework only version on the result. And I don't think you can get just lines, it always has a fill where there are faces. If possible, I'd like to know how, other than doing some PS trick.

          The only way a style could do that is with an overlay watermark image. Styles can't directly modify materials.

          You could make a single color image and add it as a watermark. Adjust the blending as needed. I used white in this example but a gray might be more appropriate. I set it up so the overlay only covered part of the screen for the example.
