Surface colours and elevation Ranges

[Anonymous]

If I setup a surface style using 2D colour banding and any of the colour schemes like land,rainbow or even my own, fine.
but if I then setup my own elevation range manually untick the box (scale scheme to fit) under range details this works until
I want to change the colour scheme, even with the box above unticked, if I click on the blue down arrow then I lose my manual range and get a range that fits the surface !
Anyone know a way round this ?

go into the style itself. the overrides on the analysis tab are temporary.

You can specify a different Colour scheme used yes,

but until you press that blue arrow, as far as I can see
it does not use the colour scheme, the problem is as soon as you press that blue arrow it changes the elevation range !?

I would say that it might be considered a bug. But if you look at the help
text on the blue arrow, it's "Run Analysis," not "Apply." If you want to
modify your colors after the fact, do it manually for now. I'd say this
should definitely be on the wish list though.
