Individual color of components in a product
Individual color of components in a product
(OP)
I feel like a tool. I have to believe there is a way to change the colour of individual components in a product. Right now, if I select a component and change the colour, the entire product updates to that colour. There is no way around it. I can change line types in the way I described, but the colour doesn't take. What am I missing? I even tried turning on "rendering style per object" in the view mode customization box to no avail.
I don't really want to mess around with materials as basic colors will do.
Thanks for any help.

Or, activate each individual part and change the properies of the Part Body. Every instance of each part will be the same color.
You might have to Reset Properties (using Apply To Children option) in order to remove all other colors.

Can you clarify the "Apply to children" option? Where is it?

Where is the reset properties panel? I'd use help for this but if you read my other post, you'll find that Java has disabled my help (search)permanently.

If you apply color to components within an Assembly, you have to go to the component Properties and change the color to NO COLOR to remove it.
Can you attach a picture of your product tree showing the part instancesz?

I finally had a chance to recreate the problem this afternoon, and I came up with the same solution. Make sure you remove color (assign "no color") to top assembly and all the sub-assemblies and component assemblies.
