To color-code items in the IFC model according to their properties, use the Colorize command in the Model Viewer Interface dialog box. For example, you can color-code items according to their category or finish. You can also set filters to only color-code particular items in the model. By using a filter, for example, you could first filter the items by their category, and then color-code the items in that category by their finish.

1. In the Estimating dialog box, right-click anywhere in the display area.
2. In the context menu, click Model Interface.
3. If necessary, in the Model Viewer Interface dialog box, filter the items that you want to color-code:
