Part Painter command


The Part Painter command applies or removes face style color overrides on part faces, features, bodies, and construction surfaces.  When you remove a face style color override, the selected element returns to the base style color listed in the Color Manager dialog box.

Note:

This command is only available when the Use individual part styles option is selected in the Color Manager dialog box.

Using Part Painter

Use the Part Painter command bar to apply color style overrides to:

  • All top-level objects that support styles.

  • Features of the part, including construction surfaces.

  • All features of the part.

  • All features of the same type on a part.

  • Bodies of the part.

  • Faces of the part.

  • Parasolid bodies.

Part Painter considerations

  • The Part Painter command only applies to the parts, features, and construction surfaces that are in the file when the command is executed. It does not provide default styles for future parts, features, and construction surfaces.

  • When you switch the view style from shaded to wireframe, parts display with the individual face color assignments.

  • Static previews display parts with the styles that were saved with the part or assembly.

  • A part copy that is inserted as a base feature takes on the base part color. It does not use the part color of the parent.

  • Fast patterns, fast mirror features, and mirrored body features that have multiple colors and styles only carry over an "all-over" feature override. The features do not carry over individual face colors.

  • The Part Painter command does not work on suppressed features.

  • If an individual face color is removed, the face reverts to the base color, not the feature color.
