# Colors

How to set the display colors of graphical model entities and image-capture backgrounds in ENERCALC 3D.

Settings & Tools > Colors prompts you with the following dialog.

![](https://560001759-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FWNe8U6EBBBdUJHdb2X9G%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-52a3a429e5799ee621eae4e4cc93cdfec0c91c0c%2FFASTFR~1_img218.png?alt=media)

It allows you to set colors of different graphical entities in the model. You may modify the color(s) of one or more items at a time. By checking “Use color cues for different materials”, concrete, steel and wood materials will show different colors in rendering mode.

By checking “Use white background for image captures”, a white background will be used for the captured image even if a different background color is used in the model views. This option will reduce the amount of ink required to print the images. Color settings can be optionally saved for future use.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.enercalc.com/e3d-user-manual/interface/toc175916526/toc442029162/toc161393989.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
