Using multiple colors on sectioned faces when fully shaded ( part attribute? )

[Bart1992]

I have some trouble to asign multiple colors on the sectioned faces of an assembly ( see attachement).

The sectioned faces of bearings, keys, seegerrings need to be their body color, where all the other parts need to be orange. I can't find a way to achieve this.... There are multiple ways to approach it, but they all have their disadvantages ;

1) Give the solid body the color that is needed on the sectioned face, and set the setting of sectioned view color to none. However, there are multiple sheets in this drawing where the color must be unaltered, so changing the full body color is not an option.

2) Give the sectioned faces a manual color by using the 'edit object display' function. Problem with this function is that the sheet immediately becomes 'out of date'.

I know that their is a part attribute called ' SECTION-COMPONENT = NO' which determines wheter a part is sectioned or not. Is there a some sort of similar part-attribute which specifies the sectioned face color?

You can change the color of specific faces.

Change the section view to shaded.
mb3 on the view --> View depended Edit --> Edit Shaded Objects
Select the faces you want to change --> OK --> Choose an new Shade Color --> Apply
