Shaded parts washed out on drawing.

[NTME76249]

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

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.
