Hi,

Can you supply the file that's exhibiting the issue

file -> export -> f3d

Kind regards

Ricky

**No, the show component colours is still in the exact same spot under inspect, are you working with an assembly?

Why do you need a component display function when you have one component.

So, even with one component, i used to be able to see color.. I think i figured out a workaround, if you open another design that has multiple components, "Display component color option comes up!", use that option there , then re open the "One component" design, then , i can see color on the one component design(I dont have the option though).. here is the updated picture..

I need it for 'look' purpose.. i think i have a workaround now.

thx

@shojib76

Can you File>Export your *.f3d file to your local drive and then Attach it here to a Reply?

I think a video using your actual part will clear up all of the confusion.

No "workarounds" are needed.
