DISPLAYING COLOURS

DISPLAYING COLOURS

DISPLAYING COLOURS

(OP)
I'm having a senior moment I think so please forgive a dumb question; I have applied colours to my model to produce Photoview rendered images of the actual product. The colours are dark wood. When photoview is not "added in" the model still has these dark colours and it's hard to work that way as I can't see sketches etc.

I know I can "remove all appearances" but that is permenant. How do I turn them off and revert to the original bright colours? I still need the appearances later so don't want to get rid completely.

Thanks Eltron, have been looking but I'm just getting more frustrated! If you have something specific in mind could you steer me a bit more please?

RE: DISPLAYING COLOURS

How about turning off RealView?

Hi Jeff,

It's not on.

I don't use Photoview 360 that much but having used it before I don't recall this issue. My memory fails me!

RE: DISPLAYING COLOURS

Are the colors applied at the part level or the assembly level?

Part level.

RE: DISPLAYING COLOURS

Just create a display state where you remove or change all of the appearances.  That way you can switch back and forth without using the nuclear option.
