Part color problem

I have a SW 2007 problem. I have a component that is made up of
simple extrusions and extruded cuts. I am trying to give the part a
uniform color, but I cannot get them all to look the same. Some are
fine, but many will not accept a color at all. They stay grey no
matter what I do.

It seems like that parts that are vut surfaces accept the color while
the base extrusions do not. I have selected the parts, and the entire
model seperately to try and remove the colors, but nothing seems to
help.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Which level did you apply the color to? faces / functions / part?

Remove color in every place you put it, and apply the color to the part
level.

 

Don't you just love it?

SW missing some trigger like remove all colors every where

There are two ways of changing colors of feature / face

Right click - appearance or Right click - properties - color

But some times neither of them works

And then there is material feature which changes colors, and there is configuration colors settings .



I have no good solution for it , just couple suggestions that sometimes worked for me



Unhide display pane

Look for any feature with color box next to it - remove if you can (because sometimes you can't)



Right click - properties on colored faces remove colors



Change the configurations (sometimes makes the colors update)



Close - Open file may work



Most problems I have is with files that had color changed in previous releases of SW



And one more thing: design tables.

 

Below is a link to a macro that removes colors, other than body colors. It's
the one called "Remove Colors":

There is another one on here, "Remove Color From All Faces":

There are several macros for removing colors here; "Removal All Part Colors"
may be the best bet:
