Revolve in assembly

[Cad4fish]

I will start by admitting I have not gone through all the Inventor tutorials.  I've just jumped in and been able to create several parts and assemblies.  Now I am stuck.  I want to visualize how a turned bottle stopper will look if the blank is made up of a stack of wood with alternating colors of wood and then turned to roughly an egg shape.  I may be at a dead end because from what I can tell the join/cut/intersect options for revolve are not available in an assembly.  I am attaching what I have so far and would like to know if there is another way to accomplish this.  With a derived part the stack of blocks becomes one part so I can't see what the colors will look like.

No, your model tree is essentially identical to mine.  (I also have 2015 - I only posted 2014 file for benefit of others.)

At the top of your model tree click on the plus + symbol next to the Solid Bodies folder to expand that folder.

You should now see the list of your solid bodies.  Right click and change Properties of any body to change the color.

Also, you might set your Visual Style to Shaded with Edges.

Perhaps an easier way for changing colors in multiple bodies:

- Choose Select bodies option in Quick Access Toolbar

- In graphics window select all bodies that need color change (CTRL click)

- Right click -> Properties

- Set new color

I finally got what I need.  I marked several of the posts as solutions as each one gave me a part of the puzzle.  However, I want to thank everyone who commented.  I read and reread all of your posts many times.  BTW, I'm a retired teacher with a little experience with 2D CAD.  My projects these days are mostly gifts and projects I do for a school where I am a volunteer assistant wrestling coach.  I have Inventor and ACAD through the educational program and my affiliation with the school.  I just find Inventor a fun program to use even when a project is so simple that 3D modelling is not needed.

Thanks again.
