ilogic to change model color/appearance

[marcocruz]

Hi.

When I open a drawing, i want to be able to change the appearance of its part model.

Can it be done?

I can do it in part itself using

iProperties.PartColor

But I want to do it from inside the drawing.

Can it be done?

Thanks in advance.

Someone may have a better way but here's one way that I can think of. Create a text parameter in the model and set the value to a color. In the model, create a rule using the iProperties.PartColor and set it to the text parameter. In the drawing, create a multi-value text parameter and list all the colors you want. Create a rule in the drawing to set the text parameter in the model with the multivalue text parameter from the drawing. below is an example. Hope that helps.

model code

iProperties.PartColor = ColorinPart

drawing code

modelName = IO.Path.GetFileName(ThisDrawing.ModelDocument.FullFileName)
Parameter(modelName, "ColorinPart") = Colorindwg
iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True
