Is there a way to program pro-e so he can change the color of a part when a parameter changes?

like,

IF MATERIAL == RUBBER
COLOR == BLACK
ELSE
IF MATERIAL == STEEL
COLOR == GREY
ENDIF
ENDIF


Thanks

I've never tried it but have seen a similar question before. If I remember correctly, the answer goes something like this. Color the part Black. Create a very shallow surface cut/protrusion and color the surface Grey. Then use a family table to toggle the surface feature on/off.

Good luck,

There is not such a system parameter for the color. You can only do this using ProToolkit functions, without any workaround.
