change composite part color with FS?

EvanReese

I've tried setProperty() with the composite and it says only bodies and faces are allowed. I've tried qContainedInCompositeParts() to get the bodies inside of it, and it still doesn't do much. How do I change the color of a closed composite part?

Because of the way it's implemented, the composite body contains a vertex. I'd get just the composite body like so:

colorBodies = qCreatedBy(id + "compositePart1", EntityType.BODY);

Works for me: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/2d178e506b0d3ef4e5dea658/w/063bd30830e016da137ef7a9/e/cf342d2f178e97c04eed3625

Does the query you're passing resolve to a body? This should be working.

hmm, for some reason the way I was querying my composite part also queried a vertex, which was failing setProperty(). Here's how i'm getting the query:

colorBodies = qCreatedBy(id + "compositePart1");

I was able to get it working like this, but where did the vertex come from? The only inputs to the composite part were 4 solid bodies.

colorBodies = evaluateQuery(context, colorBodies)[1];

I see. Thanks, thats a good solution.
