Hello Ciasah,

Not, sure if I understand but do you mean something other than selecting the
shape and changing the Line (Format / Line...) and Fill (Format / Fill...)
properties?

Are you having trouble with a particular shape? If so, what is the name of
the master?

Best regards

John

Drop a Block Interval shape on the timeline, you can change the fill
color for each one individually. The date intervals can also be
removed, I put some suitable shapes at

some time ago.

Hello Ciasah
As John mentioned you can select the shape such as the cylindrical
interval and change the fill color however it will retain the default
orange color on the outer edges. The fill color change will be reflected
more in the middle of the shape. So in summary in order to represent the
different intervals with different colors on a cylindrical time line you
need to use the cylindrical intervals. The color/fill for this object can
be changed but will retain some of its original coloring mainly on the
outer edges.

The cylindrical interval may be colored by selecting it, then menu bar >
format > fill. Set the pattern to #29, choose the colors you desire, click
OK.
