Problem with applying asset to a face

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I can apply an asset to a ComponentOccurrence without any problems but not to a face (within a Assembly Document):

oFace.Appearance() = oLocalAsset

VS throws a NOT_IMPLEMENTED exception then.

I thought it might be a problem to access the face within an assembly via the face object, so I tried with FaceProxy but the same error occurred.

Any Ideas how I can change the Face color of an occurrence in an Assembly Document?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

This does not seem to be possible in the UI either. I also checked in previous versions (e.g. 2011) to make sure it's not something that disappeared as a result of moving to the unified materials library in Inventor 2013 which is used by all other Autodesk products.

So it seems that if you want to override the color at the Face level, you'd need to do it in the part document.

Cheers,
