Sketch Blocks Question

[BodyBagger]

Hello all,
I have a few sketch blocks that overlap each other and during the motion of the blocks it becomes very confusing what is what.

I would like to fill the different sketch blocks with different colors to hopefully improve viewing the motion.

Does anyone know of a way to do this?

Thanks for any input,
BB

Create layers and select the sketch lines, then add them to the layers.

The blocks can be coloured using the Line Color function in the Line Format toolbar.

Hello all,
Thanks for the input but what I need to do is FILL IN the block with color. I need to color the entire block profile with the color.

Thanks,
BB

Maybe use surfaces (created from the sketches) in an assy ?

Or if you are talking about in the part I use planer surfaces like CBL suggests.
