Material color apparence.

[Anonymous]

Hi,

After update to 2014 version all steel created parts get a very dark color (almost black) and that makes it difficult to work with. I sketches cannot see properly the dimensions and so on.. What can I do about that?

Thanks

Try to edit the colour, maybe...

Regards,

Igor.

I don't think you do... After editing the colour - save it to your style library. That should work.

Cheers,

Igor.

I found myself the way: Styles Editor / Lightning then chose and set one light, two, three, four lights .... color brightness, light brightnes or ambience....

You need to make sure you save it back to your library to capture the changes for all your other parts. I've created a series of posts in the past showing you how to do this. You can take a look if you like. Please let me know if they helped you:
