Part colours in assemblies 1

[hugou]

I have an assembly in which the colours for the individual parts have been ‘overwritten’. If I open any of the parts the colour remains (for example green) but in the assembly the same part is grey. How can I reset the colours in the assembly to those of the parts or do I have to go through the laborious process of re-colouring the parts within the assembly??
Thanks.

Don't worry, I've worked it out; you need to select 'component' from within the color and apperance menu and then hit 'clear'.
Cheers.

This isn't working for me. When I select components and 'clear', that is what turns my sub-components grey.

Are you able to reverse this? At part level the colours are still right, but in certain assemblies I have managed to turn things grey.

I am actually still having this problem. I came across it again today. I have a component in an assembly that just appears white. I have tried selecting it and hitting clear, but nothing happens.

As a test if I select another component and hit clear that also goes white, so my clear button seems to be making components appear 'cleared' rather than resetting them to their native part states.

Please can someone suggest how I just 'clear' or 'reset' any assembly colours so that all components just show their native colours.

Thanks in advance.

I also for the past 10 years (through many ProE versions)have been having a simular problem but I think my problems resides in copygeom surface features. I use alot of copygeom surfaces to create CFD analysis air parts. If I open the part and select all surfaces and select clear the part goes back to the transparent blue I originally set it to. This seems to be only a temorary fix though. I have recently noticed with WF 4.0 that if I select the component (within the color menu)in the assembly it resides in and then select my transparent blue color and select apply it will go to that color. I don't know if this jiberish helped or not but perhaps it will give someone an idea that can help you.
Good luck...
