Colouring hot and cold water pipes

[mikeSK]

Home Designer Pro 2022 Build 23.4.1.8 x64. I am restructuring my house and I would like to show the plumbing system. So I can use cylinders for the pipes but I would like to differentiate between hot and cold. It would be great if you could colour the cylinders but I can't find a way of doing that. Has anyone else tried to do it and if you were successful perhaps you could share

draw in your "Pipes"

Then click on it and open object for detail

Then go to material tab.

Then click on "pipe" and change material to a color of your choosing.

 

Look for catalog under main core catalog library - MATERIALS - COLORS

easy peasy.

Thanks y-g-m-n. but actually no.I have tried that and it colors the outside of the pipe - i.e .the material of the pipe , but on the plan view you don't see that. You need to kind of fill between the walls of the pipe and color that

You might have to draw the pipes as poly lines in plan view. Then change the infill to solid and the color you want it to be.  Though unless you're printing the plans in color, the colors won't matter, so maybe an infill of 2 different patterns may work better?
