The problem that I have with colour is that assigning the colours automatically means it's difficult to get matching colours on plan and elevation. It works on straightforward cases, you just put the maps in the same order on plan & elevation & it assigns the colours in the same order. This does not work if you have a number of elevations on different projections. Thus far I've only managed this match by post-processing in GIMP or Paint.net. The ability to assign colours would be useful indeed.

One of these is to colour scraps different colours. All I can find in the Therion Book is how to specify to colour map-fg by altitude or by scrap. If I do either of these then the colours are assigned automatically. I've searched my email history and seen that colour by altitude has been discussed before, but I can't work out if there is supposed to be a way to set the colour for a scrap? If this isn't currently possible, then if would be ideally implemented in the layout so that if is not coded into the drawings of the scraps themselves. Perhaps a syntax to let you specify as follows: colour <scrap name> <colour> Am I missing a way to do this in the existing release? Footleg
