After running BIM File to Geodatabase on an IFC file, we get a Feature Dataset.

If I 'Add to New Local Scene' the Feature Dataset, some of the records in my GenericModel layer are automatically symbolized with color, even though the Contents layer shows a single symbol:

If I 'Add to New Map' the Feature Dataset opens in a map with symbology as defined in the Contents:

The colored Scene looks great, but where do these colors come from, what do they mean (there is no legend), and can the colors be changed?

Hello @MicZatorsky_AEC 

The colors come from the original source as the information get bake into the geometry (multipatch).

Best regards
