Dominant Color

(OP)
If I have 2 identical surfaces overlayed on top of each other, each a different color, how does catia determine which color will be shown on top or be the dominant color. See pic

RE: Dominant Color

Hello jopal,

In my experience, when two surfaces overlap, CATIA will mix the two colors with triangles (by tessellation) (see here)... In your case, I think there is a non-zero distance between the two surfaces... try making a section cut in a product...

Hope this helps and best of luck!

i agree with the tesselation, it "sometimes" shows like that. In my example, its the exact same surface copied and pasted on top of itself so there couldnt be a gap.

RE: Dominant Color

Well, in that case, I have no idea... neutral

RE: Dominant Color

do you think CATIA handles the coloring, or do you think it's the graphics card?

RE: Dominant Color

(OP)
i think it is catia.....i've tried it on a couple of systems with different cards with different results.
