    Greets all,
    I'm trying to render a product who's outer shell has been cut open to
    reveal the squishy bits inside.

    I suppress all the internal bits, cut the external shell in assembly
    mode,
    resolve the internals -- and I have my "stylized" section view.

    However, I'd like to change the color of the thin sections created by
    the cut. Much like "Section View" turns the cut section blue.

    I can't seem to change the color, though, of only the new faces. PW
    applies the change to the entire part, not just the face I select. I
    attempted
    to work around this with decals -- but its a nightmare that way.

    Suggestions? Hope my description is clear enough.

    -Tony

  2. Have you tried right clicking on the face, go to appearance. Do the
    coloring that way? However, I could see this being tedious if there
    were a lot of faces.
