Applying an appearance to entire part body rather than surface only...

Stormi_Backus

I'm surprised I couldn't find anyone else on the forum having this issue but here we go... 

How can I change the color of my entire part body rather than just the part's surface when applying an appearance? 

I have a logo extrusion that appears as OnShape's default blue rather than the grey appearance I have applied. (See screenshot below). If this is something that can be done programmatically using FS, that would be nice - this is an FS generated part anyway. 

Thanks in advance!

You could set the appearance in either. Since your logo feature isn't referencing the part, it would be extra clicks if you put it there. Add this to line 554 of the gear feature and that will set it's color.

        setProperty(context, {
                "entities" : qCreatedBy(id + "APlateExtrusion", EntityType.BODY),
                "propertyType" : PropertyType.APPEARANCE,
                "value" : color(.3, .3, .3)
        });

@Stormi_Backus each of these things you mentioned are possible. Please share a link to your document so we can take a closer look.

Perhaps your custom feature is extruding separate parts instead of merging the logo with the main part? It's hard to tell without the context of a document.

If you share a link to your custom feature we can help you with that too. SetProperty() is how you can change the appearance of parts created within FeatureScript.

Oops, here you go!

Note: I was struggling to extrude the part logo via FS so right now I'm just doing it manually.

Ohhh I think I identified part of the problem...the logo for the version of the document I shared is imported using another FS. So I probably need to change the color in that FS as well. But that still doesn't address the issue of the inside of my sprocket turning up blue when I do a section view. 

Here is the link to the logo FS: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/1c864a0f76cc68fc6a77ba31/w/dff5ee744601abbaacb0232f/e/a1bef027f56bc0bbd87e274b?renderMode=0&uiState=652d79836813a23d236d82f8

Perfect, thank you!
