Assigning Body Color to imported Parasolids in NX8.5.1.3
Assigning Body Color to imported Parasolids in NX8.5.1.3
(OP)
Hi ,
How can I assign body color to imported parasolid automatically? When I export a geometry as a parasolid which has been assigned for example color blue, then when I import it , the face colors are blue, but if you section the body, the color within is different when you set the sectioned color as body color.
I thought this was a bug in NX6, which might have got fixed in NX8.. But looks like it is still existing..
Any thoughts on how I can do this on import automatically? I know we can write a macro or some customizations to get away with it.. But it would have been great if it would been done OOTB..

"it works for me"
Perhaps you are not exporting what you think you are exporting. Try a test: open/create a simple part file, go to Edit -> object display, change the filter to solid body and change the color (make sure you select the "apply to all faces of body" option in the settings section). Export it as a parasolid and import it, go to Information -> object, set your filter to solid body and select it. The color listed in the information window should match the face color you see on screen (or the edge color you see in static wireframe view should match the face color you see in shaded view).
