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,

    In the attached file there is a master file and to references, one the "category" (here residential areas) and the other one houses.

    Here's a step by step of what I did for reconstructability

    1. create a new DGN file
    2. attach a custom color table
    3. attach a geographic coordinate System (UTM 33 North, WGS84 in this case)
    4. attach the two references with a relative path
    5. change the references display mode to filled concealed edge
    6. choose "treat reference as object for manipulation" switch from the reference manager
    7. change the color of both layers to a desired color

    What I then want is to have both references filled, but without an outline (or an outline in the same Color as the filling)

    Thanks for your continued help,
