When creating some models in MLCAD I come across some colors that are not part of the default palette in MLCAD. How do I find out what color number to specify? For example I have some chrome parts I want to create in MLCAD and I see not color for silver or chrome. Ideally I would like to open up the color pallet in MLCAD and be able to choose any of the colors listed in the color guide on lugnet. Is there a patch, or information I can enter to have that? If I want to do a silver color how do I select that color or enter it? Any help? - John
