Color is the color that the shape of the building block will be drawn with (the text color is specified with the font).
Fill Color is the color that the shape will be filled in with when drawn (inside of converters, stocks and modules and the pipe and valve for flows).
Name only, if checked, will display only the name and not the circle with the name attached. Using this on Delay Converters is a very useful option for causal loop diagrams.
Note Width and height in the Size Position section are replaced by diameter for converters.
Check this to put a delay mark on a connector.
Delay marks are used to denote time delays in causal loop diagrams, where the connector typically points to what would be a stock in a complete model.
Use this to place a polarity mark at the arrowhead of the connector. Positive will display a + or an s (or nothing), depending on your settings in the Model Style Properties Panel. Negative will display a - or an o, depending on your settings. You can place the arrow on different sides of the arrowhead, or further from the arrowhead next to the stem, by choosing between "Inside of arc (Head/Stem)" and "Outside of arc (Head/Stem)."
