RE: grip newbie question
In toolshop is a workaround to give solid individual colors connected to material or function. Machined faces of this body have individual colors(RGB) and attributes connected to manufacturing. Coloring and attributes is managed with a grip, now , while solids created ( not only a one way process) the colors get lost but the attributes stay at the faces in most cases. For control it would be nice to select a solid, get all faces of the body recolor from face attributes. I haven't found a solution in grip cover this process, yet, at the time there is a second selection needed for ( Masking) the faces in grip. I hope its clear now.

RE: grip newbie question
Note that this program is only intended as a 'demo' of what can be done but it should give you an idea of where to go next. The zip file includes the program source file, an executable and a sample NX 5 part file with a block with 5 of the 6 faces with attributes assigned that match the color names supported by the program. Just open the part and execute the program.
This should get you started on the right path.
