The Settings → Color & Visibility Settings from the menu bar opens the Color & Visibility Settings tab from the GUI Sidebar. Here, you can define the color and visibility of the materials.

If a structure is currently in memory, only the Material IDs present in the structure are editable in the Color & Visibility settings. Otherwise all 256 Material IDs are displayed.

First, decide whether the chosen settings should be applied directly to the structure in memory by checking Apply Immediately. Otherwise, the Apply button must be pressed.

Color presets

A color preset is a particular group of colors that are applied together. Click Load Preset and, in the Load Color Preset dialog, select whether to display the generated structure’s materials using one of the presets.

After selecting new colors through the buttons in the Color & Visibility Settings dialog, the current group of colors can be saved as a preset (Load Preset à Save as new Preset), to have it appear in the list of color presets later.

Change colors

Change all allows to change the color of all material IDs to the same color. By checking visible all material IDs can be set to be visible at once.

Below, this can also be done for each material ID separately. Click on the name of the current color and select one of the predefined colors.

To change the default color to a user-defined color, select the three-dots icon.

In the opening Select Color dialog enter the RGB values that define the color and click Add to Custom Colors. Alternatively, the rectangle for the new color can be dragged to occupy the place of the old one in the custom colors.

The new color setting is applied to the material after clicking OK.

Keeping a Color & Visibility Settings dialog from the sidebar open, instead of closing it, is helpful when trying to find the most adequate settings for a particular visualization.

More details about the GeoDict colors and visibility settings are found in the Visualization section.
