williambentley2 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I believe I have seen Rene Rabbit and others put color swatches on their toolbar. Since the color palette doesn't seem to save colors between plans (even with templates), I need to keep my consistent palette of about 15 colors for construction plans, etc. How does one do it?

Expand Rene will know better than I, but if you're using those colors for fills, then they can be added to the library individually (maybe in their own folder...). You can also create a CAD block of all 15 colors, add it to your library and then place it into your views and explode it for quick use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand The color pallet is an OS tool. As such it doesn't save the custom colors between apps. However, it should be possible for Chief to save the custom colors (either on a per plan or global basis) and initiate them on startup or loading. IMO, if saved with a plan that should over-ride the global colors. I've never bothered to submit a suggestion for this but it wouldn't be a bad idea to do so.

Expand For those who haven't watched the videos, making custom Toolbars is pretty easy with the Place From Library Tool in this case you would need to make materials of each color if not done already and add them to your Toolbar. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00811/customizing-toolbars.html Mick.
