If you want to color some of your models.

[freedman]

I made a macro that will random color or set to default grey all objects. Thought this might help make some of those grey models light up. To use, run the macro and push a button, Close it when your done. This will over-ride any colors you have set previous.

Hope this helps....

Are you aware of this command?:
Std_RandomColor

I didn't know you could do a selected area. Certainly not as easy to use as the macro and I wanted the user to be able to restore a default.

I would like FreeCAD v0.20 to get some additional standard properties like:
visibility_tmp
transparency_tmp
shapeColor_tmp
By switching between the tmp and standard properties a showman could highlight specific portions of a model and then switch back to their previous working colors. Or randomized all the colors in tmp and then switch back to standard.

Once I saw this link I just had to try something, this thing is so cool looking, it would look exceptional in color.

Nice!

How do you decide the colors? The code seem to be a constant added to r, g and b. Also, why are the these variables called am, bm, cm?

When you use this macro or stc_RandomColor, the colors are sometimes not so desirable. Something I thought about before was being able to define a "color swatch" or some other way to only use colors that work well together (or colors that match your stylesheet or OS theming).

If you want to clean up the macro and repost, that's fine, I didn't have alot of time so I did the best I could. Sometimes I post these things and noone pays attention, other times folks read the code.

The am,bm,cm, I was having some trouble so I added a m to abc, it ended up staying like that...

I haven't been able to get the addon manager to work (with me), so when I do I could put this in there.
