Apply an override to the base part style with Part Painter

Choose View tab→Style group→Part Painter .

On the Part Painter command bar, do the following:

1. From the Select Element Type list, click the type of element to which you want to apply the override.

   • Any

   • Face

   • Feature

   • By Feature Type (in the ordered environment)

   • Body

   For examples, see the Part Painter command bar.

2. From the Currently Applied Styles list, select one of the following:

   • To remove all previously applied colors, click Replace styles.

     Example:

     Use the Replace styles option to remove residual colors from an imported Parasolid body.

   • If there are some colored elements that you want to keep while you apply new colors to others, click Keep styles.

3. From the Face Styles List, select the face style you want to apply.

   

   Example:

   You can select None from the Face Styles List, as well as Replace Styles from the Currently Applied Styles list, to remove any styles that are currently applied to the elements you select.

In the graphics window or in PathFinder, click the elements that you want to paint. You also can drag a box around elements to select them.

The selected geometry changes to the face style color you selected. If you selected None, then the geometry changes to the color assigned to Model Default in the Style dialog box. Surfaces are restored to the face style color named Construction Default.

You can continue to use the command until the part is painted the way you want it to be.
