However, when I change the appearance on them to "Steel", one of the parts' appearance is much darker. I want to have it as light as the other parts, but can't seem to make it the same by applying the same materials &amp; appearance. I have attached the files and posted some pictures below. Can anyone help me to get the correct appearance?</P><P><IMG width="584" height="252" title="LightDark.JPG" alt="LightDark.JPG" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/216175i45B47A47A6E80F2E/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&amp;px=-1" border="0" /></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Correct Appearance</P><P><IMG width="493" height="365" title="PipeCorrectAppearance.JPG" alt="PipeCorrectAppearance.JPG" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/216176iCDB63337655B28A8/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&amp;px=-1" border="0" /></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Too Dark Appearance</P><P><IMG title="PipeDarkAppearance.JPG" alt="PipeDarkAppearance.JPG" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/216177iAAA455C4281C53EC/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&amp;px=-1" border="0" /></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Fri, 05 Feb 2016 01:27:39 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/dark-part-appearance/m-p/6025243#M340288 BromanSillito 2016-02-05T01:27:39Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/dark-part-appearance/m-p/6025370#M340289 <P>Hi,</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>I don't know why but this happens somethimes.</P> <P>You have to remove the material in the document and reassign it.</P> <P>Look at the screencast.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <DIV id="415c9133-e0d6-4f9e-b1cc-42f5c840a354" class="myscreencast-iframe iframe-container active-myscreencast"><IFRAME src="https://screencast.autodesk.com/Embed/Timeline/415c9133-e0d6-4f9e-b1cc-42f5c840a354" width="640" height="650" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" webkitallowfullscreen="webkitallowfullscreen" style="display: inline;"></IFRAME></DIV> Fri, 05 Feb 2016 05:13:38 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/dark-part-appearance/m-p/6025370#M340289 Frank-Oosterwaal 2016-02-05T05:13:38Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/dark-part-appearance/m-p/6026129#M340290 <P>Perfect!
