I am working with an imported STEP model. Some of the Items in the sidebar are **red!!** Does that mean something in Shapr? Did I miss how to control the color here? Seeing these colored items made me want to color code my own! 😆 It would be **AWESOME** to be able to color code items. ❤💚

This would help in locating items more quickly, and essentially tagging them (like “needs work” or “final” or whatever)

Obviously not a showstopper. Just something that would help. And be awesome! 🕶

It’s not semantic coloring. Probably you are using the HBPM beta. Red items show invalid bodies. The ability to solve these are under development

Thanks Zoli,  
Indeed, I am using the Beta.  
Even having a small palette of colors to tag items would be great!
