Made a custom feature that allows for this, I'm happy again! Thanks for this feature guys!sam_parsons said:Really pleased that you can apply appearances to faces now, but I'm a bit disheartened that you have to configure them in configured properties tables rather than in configurations, limits the freedom of the configuration quite a lot
Re: Improvements to Onshape - June 3rd, 2020
YES! Thank you sooo much for finally making it possible to color individual faces. This will allow me to (easily) make my CAD models look more realistic, AND allow me to no longer need so many individual parts and assemblies as the hack for when I absolutely needed different colors before. So excited. I feel like Onshape is now fully on-par with SolidWorks for my needs. Thanks!!

Re: Improvements to Onshape - June 3rd, 2020
Color Face! Stupendous, spectacular! Now, how do I make the 'appearances' panel go away after I've used it?
Re: Improvements to Onshape - June 3rd, 2020
wow! this release is huge! Seems like everyone must be settled into the new location at PTC now.
Face colors is going to be super helpful for use in Keyshot for me.
"n" to view normal to the closest cardinal plane is a bit of muscle memory I never lost switching from Solidworks 4+ years ago, so that's very welcome. Now when I hit "n" out of habit something will actually happen.
The custom tables seem very important too. Now I can probably phase out the Find Sharp Edges custom feature in favor of this.
Thanks! 👏👏👏

One of my favorite updates yet! FeatureScript tables, colored faces, saving dashboards! I have quite the backlog of scripting and administration now.
