Component Color Problems
Component Color Problems
(OP)
Hey all,
I'm having some headaches with my component colors, and I'm not sure if it's a graphics issue or what.
Basically I'm changing component colors in an assembly and even though the components color is changing it's still rendering in the components default color.
I don't have any materials attached so what is going on?
Thanks

RE: Component Color Problems
Is there some master color control for a component, that can override changes made to a body or face? I mean if I want my flange to be blue, shouldn't that be easy to do?

RE: Component Color Problems
These options give the part properties priority correct?
RE: Component Color Problems
I want to be able to click on the part name at the top of the feature tree and change the entire components color there.

Display SolidWorks Colors in PhotoWorks. Select to use the SolidWorks material properties when you render the model. For example, if you set a face to red using the SolidWorks Face Properties dialog box, then the face renders red in PhotoWorks. Clear this option to use PhotoWorks materials only.
As another option you could do the following: Turn on the animation addin. Turn on screen capture (save as jpeg and set the renderer to Solidworks screen) and just capture what you see.

I found that on a couple of faces I'd actually changed the color by going to properties then color as opposed to appearance then color.
Once I had all the colors removed the part did what I wanted. I just wish there was an easier way to remove colors from features/faces/bodies as opposed to individually tracking them down and removing them.
