Hi Martin Is it possible to alter the platform colour in Sketchboard or at least have a colour in the filled shapes menu that matches the colour of the platform shown in Sketchboard? I have tried all sorts of permutations to get a concourse area to match the platforms. Cheers Phil |

Hi Phil, You can change the colour of the platforms at output > output drawing options > platform infill colour... menu item. However, at present that colour is not saved between sessions, so it's probably better to change the sketchboard infill colour to match -- on the above colour dialog click the Add to Custom Colors* button. Then on the sketchboard you can set the same colour by clicking it on the custom colour boxes on the left of the dialog. Alternatively you can copy the RGB numbers manually -- 244, 236, 220. *sorry about the American spelling, fixing that would require a lot of programing work on the Windows Common Controls. Years ago I wrote some code to pick a colour from under the mouse anywhere on the screen, which is very useful. Unfortunately I can't remember where I saved it.  When I find it I will add it to the sketchboard, or maybe I will write it again.Note also that you can create a concourse with a dummy plain track template -- rotate it 90 degrees from the tracks, add a platform and turn off all the rails, timbers and centre-lines. It is then always the same colour as the platforms, even if you change the colour.  regards, Martin. |
