In Solution Manager mode, the model faces that participate in the solution change colors.

The following example illustrates the face coloration in a successful solution situation.

Synchronous editing starts when you select a face.

As the cursor moves, the faces dynamically extend.

When Solution Manager starts, model faces involved in the solution change color. The remainder of model faces display as transparent.

The following example illustrates the face coloration in a failed solution situation.

During a synchronous edit,

as the cursor moves in a dynamic extent, notice that an error occurs. The solution is in a fail state.

When Solution Manager starts, model faces involved in the solution change color. The remainder of the model faces display as transparent.

Face Type	Color	Example	Notes
Rest of Model - ROM	Transparent
Select Set	Green (Select color)
Failed placement of Select Set – These faces are where we would like the select set to be if it were solving successfully.	Orange (Highlight Color)
Solving (not error path) no relaxed relations	“Solving” Blue (Sky Blue)
Solving, but with some severed relationships.	½ “Solving” Blue (Sky Blue)
Failed Path Cases	Orange (“Over constrained” Color)
Rigid Procedural Features (Ribs, Webs, Patterns, etc.)	Purple (“Driven” color)
Grounded Faces	Black		Overrides any other coloration.
Isolated Faces	Red (Handle Color)		Overrides any color other than black.
