Different Appearances in Different Configurations

Different Appearances in Different Configurations

Different Appearances in Different Configurations

(OP)
good afternoon, I have a model and in the default configuration I have set all of the features to Green.  I then created a second configuration and in that configuration, I want all of the features to be white.  Right now if I change the appearance in one figuration, it changes in all of the configurations?  I really don't want to have to make two different parts just because the colors are different.  Thank you in advance for any assistance.

RE: Different Appearances in Different Configurations

Under the configuration tab, RMB on the configuration who's color you want to change. Under advanced options, tick 'Use configuration specific color'.

Thank you for the response, mirsi.  I tried it, but it did nothing to change the colors.  The use configuration specific colors was already checked, by default and I tried to use the colors button and that did nothing and the I tried to reset a color in appearance and it changed everywhere again.  The only thing I can think of is to have two different parts.  Thanks again.

Never mind, I think I have spotted what is wrong.  In the Appearance at the very bottom there is a drop down where I can select the configuration for the desired color I want and that is doing the trick.  Thanks
