change surface

Anonymous — Thu, 25 Mar 2021 19:20:31 GMT

I'm very new. Typically, STL files I've been viewing are pink, but I can change them so steel color/surface and get screenshots I need at various angles - perfect. But, with one of my files, I was messing with it and now instead of pink, it's a black mesh. I cannot change it back. I tried re-uploading it but it's stuck as is. When I tried to convert it, the design had over 100K triangles. It didn't look right when reducing in ReCap Photo to an obj with only 10K quads. Really, just need help with the top part for now. Thanks!

Total NEWB mistake, I had put it on Wireframe to try to get wireframe shots, but didn't realize that when you re-open Fusion, it automatically keeps the most recent setting instead of restoring to default display and appearance settings.

To solve, I went to bottom control panel, Display Settings < Visual Style < Shaded (Wireframe had been checked)
