(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:
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.

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
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,
When I turn on the "Rasterized" option in Print dialog box, the print result is extactly same as screen shown.
Hi Michael,
I finally understand what your mean "continuous" and "get rid of outline".
You can change the outline color of your shapes by adjusting the Visuble Edges' color of "Filled Hidden Line" display style. Please see my attached pictures. This can make your houses union.
