Custom feature - Set RAL Color

brooke_spreenbrooke_spreen Member, Developers Posts: 115 ✭✭✭
Hi folks, I've put together a quick feature for setting colors based on standard RAL values -



Bodies and faces are selected separately. Checking the "Override faces" box will ensure that all faces of the body, including those where a color has been previously applied, will be changed to the selected color.

The document (link) should be public/sharable/copyable/etc.

Happy scripting :)

    Really cool!

    Hope you don't mind, I ended up "borrowing" a bunch of your code to add these to a "company colors" feature I created a while back.

    I really like how I am 100% not a programmer and I only very vaguely understand what I'm doing but because Featurescript is simple enough I was able to figure what I needed to copy (and where to paste it) to get it to integrate with what I already had (my feature starts with a drop down of "types" of colors).

    The most amazing part is that it took me about 5min and it worked perfectly on the first try after hitting commit!

    BOOM!

    Boom indeed!

    @brooke_spreen
    Thanks for sharing this! I've not worked with RAL colors before, but if I do, I may end up adding it to my Part Color feature as well. If so I'll definitely credit you in the code.

    Thumbs up! Also noticed the name of your company 'Anerdgy'.  =)
    Maybe that means something in another language.

    @eric_pesty Got to love those 'aha' moments!
    @Evan_Reese It might be that it is primarily a European system. It is at least maintained by a German organization. But the Chinese manufacturers we have worked with recognize it.
    @antlu65 Not quite another language....the name is just a play on "energy" :)
