Surfaces are created with the default color specified for surfaces using the Tool Defaults option of the Edit menu. The color of the surfaces, light gray by default, can be changed using the options available in the surface area info panel.
To Add/Change Surface Color:
| 1. | Select the surface using the selection tool. The surface area info panel will be displayed. |

These colors can be copied from another image editing program or copied from other objects in Icovia that you want to use for color matching. |
