How do I make sections of the same surface different colors?

I would like to make the different sections of the sketch different colors, so that it looks like the orange and white striped NASA parachutes. I would also like to import a jpg/png of a logo to put in the middle circle. Problem is, I have not found a way to do that, if any of you guys know how to do this it would be greatly appreciated if you post it in the comments 🙂

Split Face. Similar issue when you try to simulate forces applied onto sections of a face, you should also split then.

 

Attaching a mockup of what you showed in your picture (Inventor 2022):

Hi! Use Split command -> select the sketch lines and select the faces to split. After that, assign a different appearance to each split face.

Many thanks!

Alternative option is to revolve and thicken one segment, then pattern it with new solids. This might be more accurate to fabrication techniques as each panel would be sewn together?

Use iLogic Copy? Please consider voting for this long overdue idea (not mine):https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-ideas/string-replace-for-ilogic-design-copy/idi-p/3821399
