Material Color 1

[Pina87]

Hi!
I was wondering if anyone here could help me.
I'm trying to find a way to change the color of the parts with the same material at once. Or maybe just to highlight them.
I would like to see which parts have which material specified. When I try to change the color of a material, it changes only for that specific part, but all the other parts of the assembly remain unchanged.

Any suggestions?

Thnx

There is no shortcut to selecting all of the parts that have the same material. I would give you a word of caution as well. Be careful where you apply those appearances as it is easy to forget what overrides what.

Take a look at the "Assembly Visualization" tool. You can select Material as a sortable property. (you'll have to add it)

Once you have your materials sorted, you can use the slider bars on the far left to temporaily change the color/appearance based on material.
