Setting the color of the line tool

[Louie]

Hello,

I am designing a coffee table based on a classic hepplewhite design
with string inlays on the legs. It seems logical to use the line tool
to draw (simulate) the string inlays on the 4-sided tapered legs.
However, I can only draw "black" lines with the line tool, I need to
change the line's color (i.e. white). However, I can't seem to do
that. Even with the line selected I can't 'paint' the line with the
paint bucket.

Is it event possible to change the the line color? If not any idea how
to draw a string inlay where I can change the color? I need both
straight and arc'ed lines.

thanks much

Hi William,

The link you posted doesn't work, so I can't see what you're talking about. As far as getting started. First I'd try out some of the free sources online for learning Sketchup. try my site  www.mastersketchup.com

Thanks for showing how to change the color of the line tool by going to window - styles - edge - by material (or select color). Best Victor
