Studio offers several ways to change the color of parts in the design:
- Add new parts from the Building Palette directly in a desired color,
- Color parts using the Color Palette
- Color parts with the Paint Tool.
Choosing the color for new parts
To choose the color for new parts:
- Open the color palette from the building palette. It’s a solid color square next to the search input field.
- Choose a color in the dropdown
Read Color Palette for more information about the colors - The button and all the parts in the palette are in the color selected. New parts will be added to the build-in that color.
This only works for standard palettes like the Main palette. It doesn’t work for custom palettes as parts are already colored in different colors in those palettes.
