Now using graphics preferences

I went back to an old model and setup "graphics preferences" which looks much better then before and is more pleasing to work with.
I do wish I could change the light direction and possibly add another light to highlight the bottom of the part.
Onshape has really focused on making parts real looking versus the old RGB coloring schemes we used in the past. It's a nice change to design models when things look real.

So, here's the problem, it's a mess:
Here's the original parametric solid model with the components randomly positioned creating a rat's nest:
So I created an inner cover and arranged the terminals on the cover. The wiring is parametric and regenerated after the pcbs & terminals were rearranged onto the cover. It also shows how tight everything is becoming inside the limited volume:
And then, of course, it didn't fit when the seat was added. My inner volume had to shrink:
Changing the cover's location tightened everything up inside requiring another component rearrangement, and then, I moved the external wires over to fit better under the seat where the connector is located:
Parametrics allows rapid changes, hours vs. days, weeks or months:
