change color at solid faces

[ak762]

Can I change color at solid faces after converting parasolid file for easy machining or convert Solidwork's file with original color.

There is no way currently to change colors of solid faces.

The only thing you can do is put surfaces on the solid, and change their color.

Thank you for answer but I understand it with you too. I think it will be great task to solve CNC team in next MasterCam's version.

But I don't understand now what precision: work with surfaces or solid because after converting solid to surfaces I see surfaces sometimes overlap each over or untrimmed or have gaps vs. solids have not any gaps or other problem

Precision is controlled when you output surfaces.

Set the Tolerance value lower (example: use .0002 vs. .001).

The overlap you see may not be what the surface is actually doing, but a result of the surface shading tolerance. The "tighter" the tolerance, the more accurate the surface display resolution.

Try going to shading and setting Chord Height to a lower value (example: .0002 vs. .001). My guess is you'll see many of those "gaps" disappear!

good luck
