Changing Color in X5

[msf24]

I cannot change the color of a solid in X5. Can you help me.

Go to solids manager and select the solid and clear colors. After you do this you will be able to change its color.

Thanks, that worked.

When working with imported surfaces I most always run the C/hook colrsurf.dll which will automatically change all the surfaces to different colors. Works absolutely great to find those small fillets and little patches.

Of course I would also like to be able to change all solid colors to a different color with a easy key stroke and not have to individually select hundreds of solid faces. Is this possible to do?

There are some new analyze features in X5

Check out Analyze/Test Surfaces and Solids/Curvature.

Probably wouldn't hurt to check out the "Whats New File" there's a lot of new stuff there

It depends on what you are trying to do.

Change the whole solid, YES. Change entity color< Solids< select solid.

Certin solid faces, Idon't think so. You will have to select the faces themselfes.
