thread561-322532: "Edit work section" settings (Part section coluor)
Hello everyone,
basing on the information from the referenced thread I have the following issue:
I have a model supplied by a customer consisting out of connected bodies. These bodies have surface colors so they are easily distinguishable. However, the color of the bodies themselves appear to be the same light green that is the preset for the section surface, as this will be the color displayed even when I change the color option in the 'Create Section'-dialog to Body Color.
Now, I tried to simply change the body color with the Edit -> Object Display (which by the way already shows me the correct, desired color), but with success.
Is there anything I am missing or can I simply not edit the display of connected bodies?

If so, then the resulting body can only have a single color assigned to it. Now, each face can have its own color assigned, independent from the body color; but the section command will only use a selected color or the body color (not the face color).

no, I think I translated it wrong...
The bodies are all created as WAVE geometry linked bodies and then exported - probably the customer is doing that to not divulge the design history of the parts. So these are basically dumb bodies, but they show the WAVE symbol in the part navigator.

Thanks anyway, this made the whole color management a bit more clear to me!
