Styles
- Getting started
Training
The management of style classes in Forge is a fundamental tool to ensure visual consistency, optimal readability, and extensive card customization. Styles allow you to associate colors, textures, and materials with different elements—structures, areas, 3D models—to better distinguish them, represent their use, or reflect their status.
Style classes are particularly useful for:
- Create a consistent brand identity on a project or site.
- Improve the functional understanding of maps by leveraging clear visual codes.
- Quickly apply thematic or contextual variants without changing the objects themselves.
This chapter presents the actions available for:
- Create, name, and modify a style class.
- Apply a style temporarily or permanently to a card.
- Mastering this system saves a lot of time when designing complex boards, while ensuring an aesthetic and functional representation tailored to the needs of end users.

To set it, you have to go to the map settings by clicking on the wrench of the active map.
The right frame of the interface is then updated with the data of the new selection. You must then click on the associated gray box to set the default style:
