Re: Standard Content - Edit Appearance

@David_Harris_420 ,

You cannot change the color of standard content at this time. They are versioned parts and we do not have a mechanism for you to change colors of versioned parts. We could, in the future, include it as a company defined property much like standard content part number and description.

Not everyone wants content to be the color it exists as in real life. Some companies want different sizes or types of fasteners to be different colors to easily identify them on an assembly.

We will be adding you to an improvement request.

Would I be able to make a similar request?

Thank you,
Janik

Re: Standard Content - Edit Appearance

Requested in 2018, does not appear to be delivered yet. This is not a critical issue for me, but it would be nice to have. I create a lot of screen shots and images from CAD and its important to be able to change the source colors without trying to post process color changes.

Still required please!

Re: Standard Content - Edit Appearance

Yes, count me in, for this is more important than it appears at first glance. Mounting instructions looking at least somewhat like the real thing is one reason. Color coding the material or class is another. At one point, with my old CAD, I started making all the fasteners and hardware we have in stock pink, and all that have to be made, modified or ordered green. Looks ugly, but the shop loved it. Now they ask why I stopped doing that. Also, for rendering, it allowed me to select by colour and assign an apperance to all of them in one go. Saves quite a bit of time, when you have hundreds or more of them.

Required for me too for rendering, screen shots and images from CAD

Ditto to this.

Re: Standard Content - Edit Appearance

Is there an improvement request for this issue? This blocks me from utilizing the cool functionalities of the standard content.

Re: Standard Content - Edit Appearance

You may wish to use this fancy fastener creator document instead. Has configurable appearances and all kinds of bolt head options etc.

Re: Constant error in 3D printing

Hi, I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with your model. I think you should look for the answer in your slicer software.
Have you considered the pathways of the nozzle? For example, does it cross the outer perimeter, and do you print both parts at the same time?
