By default, all pour objects are displayed using the same color in pour views, regardless of the individual parts’ color. You can customize the pour object color and transparency in model views by defining object groups and then selecting specific color and transparency settings for each group.
-
On the
View tab, click
Representation.
The
Object Representation dialog box is displayed.
-
Create a new object group for the pour objects whose color and transparency you wish to change.
-
In the
Object Representation dialog box, click
Object group....
-
In the
Object Group - Representation dialog box, click
Add row.
-
To direct the settings to pour objects instead of parts, select the following options for the row:
- Category =
Object
- Property =
Object type
- Condition =
Equals
- Value =
Pour object
-
If needed, add any additional filtering criteria.
For example, to filter pour objects by a certain user-defined attribute, add a row with
Pour object as
Category, and define the
Property,
Condition, and
Value as desired.
-
Enter a unique name in the box next to the
Save as button.
-
Click
Save as to save the object group.
-
Click
Close.
-
Repeat step 2 if you wish to create more object groups.
-
In the
Object Representation dialog box, select an object group from the
Object group list.
-
In the
Color list, choose a color for the object group.
-
In the
Transparency list, set the transparency of the object group.
-
Click
Modify.
The object group’s color and transparency changes in the model.
