HFSS15: Setting the Default Color and Transparency of Selected Objects

To set the color of objects when they are selected:

1. Click Tools>Options>Modeler Options.

The Modeler Options dialog box appears.

2. Click Select on the Default color pull-down list.

3. Click the color button beside the Default color pull-down list.

The Color palette appears.

4. Select a color from the Color palette, and then click OK.

Any objects you select after this point will temporarily become the default color you selected.

By default, the modeler shows selected objects as nearly opaque and shows non-selected objects as nearly transparent. This features helps you distinguish between selected and non-selected objects.

To set the transparency of selected and non-selected objects:

1. Click View>Options.

The 3D UI Options dialog appears. The When there is a selection region contains checkboxes for setting the transparency for selected and non-selected objects.

Click the checkbox for the value you want to change.

This enables the value field. The default transparency for selected objects is 0.1, which makes them almost opaque. The default transparency for non-selected objects is 0.9, which makes them highly transparent.

2. Enter a new value, and click OK to apply the new transparency values.
