[CATIA] I changed body's colour and...disaster!

[CATIA] I changed body's colour and...disaster!

[CATIA] I changed body's colour and...disaster!

(OP)
Hello (sorry for my bad english),
I was working on a CAD model of a turbojet (composed of many parts), when I set a different colour for a particular Body.
Then, when I try to create a feature on that body, for example a Pocket, Catia creates a prism with that colour!

I tried to set the default colour from the Properties (searching for "No colour" option) but this option is not available for the Body.
What can I do?

(In particular, I am interested in the creation of a Pocket because I have to apply the rendering on the entire Product sectioned)

RE: [CATIA] I changed body's colour and...disaster!

select the body, right click body object -> reset properties : apply to children

Why did you put your picture on another web? Next time follow the link bellow the text box

Sorry for the picture, I am fixing it.

About my problem, I tried with this method but it doesn't work, the Body remains coloured (and if I try to create a pocket it results a coloured prism!)

RE: [CATIA] I changed body's colour and...disaster!

please provide a picture of the tree structure if you can

if you reset properties on the body, the color of each sub elements (if defined) should come back. If you check the option apply to children then solid and all sub element, and solid faces will go back to default.

As I said before, I've tried with this method and the Body remains of the same colour (so if I try to make a Pocket it results a coloured prism)

RE: [CATIA] I changed body's colour and...disaster!

I'm wondering if you inadvertently applied the color to the part in the product rather than to the body in the part. Have you opened the part in new window to if the cosmetics are applied at that level?

RE: [CATIA] I changed body's colour and...disaster!

(OP)
I applied the colour to the body in the part. The part is set on "No colour", while the Body has the orange colour (and the "No colour" option is no available for the Body's properties).
I set the colour from the product window
