<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;">Hi Cedric!<div class="">In the Models panel, use the disclosure triangles and expand until you can see the surface cap model (see attached image) -- there will be a square color well for that model, in the column between the ID and the "eye" (show/hide). Click that color well and it should bring up your system color-editor. Then when you choose the color in that dialog it will replace the electrostatic coloring on the cap.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I hope this helps,</div><div class="">Elaine<br class=""><div class=""><div class="">-----<br class="">Elaine C.
