Coloring one part multiple colors using lines
Coloring one part multiple colors using lines
(OP)
I have created a commercial airplane in Solidworks and I would like to finish it off in Photoview with a nice paint job. I was wondering if there was any way to just draw lines to define where a color ends, rather than having to extrude or cut in order to create a different surface.
The problem is once I made all of the cuts for the windows, I am not able to cross those cuts with additional cuts. So, for instance, I have all of my windows depressed .5in into the fuselage, and I cannot cut a long sweeping line along the fuselage so that the top half is a separate surface to paint white, and the bottom is separate and painted blue. Any ideas, or do I have to tediously cut around all of the windows?

So there is really no option of just drawing straight on the fuselage to indicate where the color should stop? I have to do some kind of cut/split/extrude/offset of a solid body. (My entire plane is solid bodies, not surfaces.

However, when I do "curve split" it does one wing right, and only parts of the second wing. Any idea why? It doesn't matter if I do both wings at once, or one wing at a time with two different splits. It is the same results every time. I've uploaded a picture. The blue lines are the curves I use to split the wing, and the image is rotates slightly so you can see both the curve and the actual splits
