    CONNECT Edition - Reference files don't allow color override setting

    Product(s): AECOsim Building Designer
    Version(s): 10.03.00.40
    Environment: Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1
    Area: Reference
    Subarea: N\A

    Problem Description

    I want all reference files to display gray so the elements in the active file stand out.

    Steps to Resolve

    1. Go to File - Settings - Configuration - Configuration Variables.
    2. Click on the Levels category.
    3. Edit MS_LEVEL_EDIT_NESTED_ATTACHMENT_LEVELS and give it a value of 1.
    4. Click OK on the Configuration Variables dialog and Yes to Save the configuration changes.
    5. Exit the file and re-open it and you should be able to set Override colors on nested reference files.
