You can use colors to visualize the content of
Object Browser groups in the model. The colors are included in color sets that you can create and modify. You can include a color set in a property template so that a property template always uses certain colors. The color visualization is for viewing purposes. You cannot save the colors in the model or in
Object Browser.
