Color Scheme Actions
To change any element of Color Scheme do the following:
- Highlight a graphical element.
- Select the color to open the Color dialog box and change the color.

Under Color Schemes, you can create a custom color scheme:
- Click the New button to create a new color scheme.
- Click the Remove button to remove the selected color scheme.
- Click the Reset button to restore the factory settings.
- Click the Import button to load a different color scheme.
- Click the Export button to save the color scheme.

Managing Color Schemes
You can change color schemes at any time in the dialog box. Your changes, which can be exported or imported via XML, are written to and read from a user-specified .xml file in the Application Settings user interface.

Because these Application Settings are stored in an .xml file, you can easily move your personal settings between computers. Migrating settings is also easier when the application is updated. BIM managers can use the .xml file to deploy consistent user settings for all users or specific groups.

The Import and Export buttons appear at the bottom of the dialog box.
