A Colour Filter allows you to colour code the 3D model based on the values in the DataView. Colour Filters only need to be set up once, and can then easily be applied in a few clicks.
To see examples of the colour filtering engine check out the Walk through: Create a Look Ahead Filter
To apply a Colour Filter you will need to couple the 3D and the Data.
Once a Colour Filter is set up it can be applied in 2 clicks, either via the Colour Filter button in the tool bar or via an opened Key.
If you hover the mouse over the Filters scale, a tool-tip will be displayed that describe the Filter's configuration, including Gradient and Multiple Matches options.
