I can't get it to work. I've checked everything. I go to the part, assign colors to various faces and it seems like it's carrying over to the entire component in assembly rather than just the selected faces. It's more aesthetic than anything. Ultimately, it will end up on a black and white...
I tried that. I have no assembly appearances. When in the Hierarchy sort order, all of the faces that I have and want colored are accounted for. It's a model of an industrial air compressor in which the doors and some upper panels of the unit are yellow and the lower panels and roof are grey...
Ok how do I word this...I made a part. It has different colors on different faces. When I add it to the assembly, there are additional faces colored that I did not pick. When I go back to the part, it's normal again. Why? It's extremely frustrating. I'm using Solidworks 2011.
