Colors in part studio

berkeley_spencer

Hi All,

Is it possible to change the color of a face or feature within a single part?

This is actually a 3 piece assembly in real life but as we buy it as one piece every time there's no need to model it separately.

The 'o' ring is green viton and would give this part a good deal of definition if i could change it to green.

Is it possible?



Thanks 
Bart

No, at this stage you can only change the colour of the whole part.

This something I need too. Put in you request for this with the ? icon top right.

Use your 1 sketch and multiple revolves via  closed segments. You will have to show the sketch after the first revolve and select new in the revolve dialogue.

Bart, I would need these too, but for me it sounds like you could easily create that part using Onshape's multipart studio. Just click new instead of add when extruding and you have 3 different parts without the need to use assembly. If you use this 'block' in some main assembly just use group mate and they will stick together with only one mate.

Thing is, its one sketch and a revolve, i don't think it will separate.

@berkeley_spencer And now you can insert it as module to assembly and add group mate to keep them stick together.
