Enhancement Request: Automatic Property Color Assignment

Currently, under the Properties tab, all section properties are displayed in the same color, making it difficult to quickly identify different member types in the model. Previously, a color assignment option existed, but users had to manually assign colors to each property.

This enhancement request is to automate the color assignment process. STAAD should automatically assign different colors to different property types, or at least provide default colors based on section categories. For example:

  • Hot rolled I-sections: Blue

  • Channels: Green

  • Angles: Yellow

  • Tubular sections: Red

  • Built-up sections: Purple

Automatic color coding would significantly improve model visualization, help users quickly verify property assignments, and make model review more efficient.
