Line Color
-
Greetings
I've been using Sketchup for probably 5 years now, for all kinds of things. Recently I tried to change line color in laying out pipes in my house for different heating zones. Can't do it (yet). I can't find the gallon of milk in the refrigerator either, so it's probably obvious but not to me. Anyone?

If you go window->styles->edit then select the line tab (far left.) At the bottom of the window is a little drop down menu, if you click it and select 'by material' you can then paint materials on to your lines.
Before you start painting lines, its best to switch to wireframe mode, so you dont inadvertently paint faces. (view->face style->wireframe.)

Thanks Remus.
I was hoping you could just continuously draw lines with the colors you choose. It seems like it should be easy, given all the different coordinates in different colors, etc. Isn't there a "line color" pallette so that as you draw, the lines would be the color you wanted and not have to paint them later? Like "now I'm drawing in red, now I'm drawing in green, etc. At any rate, thanks for your help.

Not that i know of. You might be able to select all the lines you want in a colour then paint one to get them all in the selected colour, although i havent tried it before.
