    Hi Sateesh,

    I am afraid to say that there are no methods to give the elements temporary color within the same collector since the elements displays the color of the component collector.

    However you can always display the elements based on their material or property collector by switching the 'element color mode' to material or property.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks and Regards
