[Solved] Dumb color question

Post by johnstonf »

Sorry, I've tried to find...

I'm viewing my object in wireframe and it's purple.

How do I change it to black (temporarily)?

You have given the fancy color to the last two pads and the pocket.

As far as i know, this is not possible in PartDesign, to give edges on specific states a specific color.

Have you tried to fillet anything, maybe the option checkbox Use All Edges? There is very rare a bug, if the fillet fails, that the color stays. When you edit the color ob the body form the color yet (it still shows in the dialog black) to an other and then back again, it is normal again.

I am the reason Murphy's law exists! Might be his brother!

Sheesh... this is crazy! and frustrating...

Yes, i was messing with fillets, then think i ran into TNP, so deleted my fillets, blah, blah.

So,

A- how does/did you FIND this?
And
B-I still don't see how to fix in my model...
And
C- What is the "Body Form"" that was referenced?

Thanks bros!
