Shaded parts washed out on drawing.

Shaded parts washed out on drawing.

Shaded parts washed out on drawing.

(OP)
I am trying to use shaded parts on my drawing and the surfaces normal to the drawing are bright white with no definition. It does not seam to matter what color i make the material it still washes out. I have played with lights on the assembly side but that does not seam to have any effect. Any idea's?
Thanks

RE: Shaded parts washed out on drawing.

Michael,

The issue is not with the lighting location, but with the colors you applied to the part. The default colors in ProE/Creo have a highly reflective surface, and when looking at a shaded model (not in render mode) the software assumes that "you" are the white light source. The way to fix this would be to apply a new color to each part that has been tuned to be less reflective.
