Unwanted outlines around shapes from a reference, or unwanted darkening of fill colors

(I'm using a german localization of microstation, so I don't really know the english names, but I will try to translate them)

For an internship I'm working on using OpenStreetMap data with MicroStation. To achieve that, I extract some data from OSM and save it as shapefiles. I then attach these as references, and change their display to "filled concealed edge":

Then I change their color with the level manager. My problem is that the polygons will appear with white outlies, that will result in black outlines when printed. While I'm not fundamentally against printing the outlines, I would like to be able to chosse whether or not to print them, or at least be able to change their color. Here's what it looks like so far in MicroStation and in a generated PDF:

I also found that if I change the reference display to "continuous", I get rid of the unwanted outlines, but there seems to be some some grey filter applied, which also is applied to prints and pdf output:

So my questions are:

  • Can I get rid of the outlines in "filled concealed edge" or at least change  their color?
  • Can I get rid of the grey filter in "continuous"?

Thanks for your help in advance,

  • The index color 0 in color table is a special color which can be changed according view's background color. When the view's background color is white, it will display as black, when view's background color is black, it will display as white.

    When we print, we normally think the paper's background color is white, so index color 0 will be printed as black.

    You can set the outline color of your shape to RGB (255,255,255) which is absolute white in any case.
