Color Parts
I've been playing with this for a few hours and am unable to get it to work. I'm on 0.17
Can I color individual faces, separate pads or a pocket word?
Or does a color apply to an entire body only?

Re: Color Parts
You can use right mouse->Set colors on the last feature in the body. Please note that the colors are lost, if you add another feature.

Re: Color Parts
Right, but that colors the entire thing the same color.
I'd like to make different part of this different colors.
Is that not possible?

Re: Color Parts
Solids drawn in the Part workbench can get colors on the individual faces
Re: Color Parts
Thanks Willem.
How do I do that?

Re: Color Parts
It's not possible in Body features in v0.17. It's possible in v0.18.
If you do not want to switch to v0.18, then create a Draft Clone of your Body, and color the Clone.
Re: Color Parts
I've installed 0.18, what are the steps to color specific faces?
If I go to 'Parts' workbench, select a face, then choose appearance and select a color, it colors the entire body, not just the face.
TIA

Re: Color Parts
Please read the previous replies, your question has been answered already by chrisb.
Re: Color Parts
I apologize if I'm missing something here...but I thought that reply was for setting the color of the entire body, by selecting the last feature. I would like to understand how to set a color for individual faces.
Wait, I just found it.
Thanks guys...I missed where it said Set Color...my apologies and thank you!

Re: Color Parts
I was able to setup different colors on faces, but it didn't save.
When I opened the model up again, the colors were gone.
Bug?
