sheet metal colour seperation to represent thickness

greenwoods1462 — Fri, 23 Jul 2021 08:23:15 GMT

Hello - I make chemically etched kits where the etching process is determined by the colour of my drawings. Black for full thickness, white for no thickness and red for half thickness.

I have been looking at fusion 360 sheet metal capability and this would be great for what I am trying to achieve. However, what I need to be able to do is to impose a colour on the different metal parts.

Ideally i would use thge sheet metal tool to draw the different thicknesses. But is there a way of colour coding the different surfaces to represent the thickness?

An example is attached of a visio drawing....something that I would want to be able to recreate in fusion and then print in colur to a pdf file.
