Solid colors

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hello,

 

I have a 3d-model in which i want to show some colors. But when i select a 3d-solid and attach a color to it, it will be shown differently for some sides. When I go to another point of view, the colors change to what they should be. But then the other sides turn into another colors. I guess its something with lights? See also attached dwg.

Hi,

 

>> the colors change

This is how reality is working, depending on the lightning you get different colors depending on looking to the side with much light and a darker color when looking to the side with less light.

 

You might try the old command _SHADE, which defines a visual style "FlatWithEdges" which might look better to what you are looking for, but also results in small differences depending on lightning).

 

May I ask what the goal is?

it depends on your current visual style .... i took your model to a new CAD drawing , as you can see from below image the Left one is working fine under Realistic visual style and the right one is under Conceptual visual style .

That worked great!

Apparently my visual style in the template was not how it should, because i exported it out of Inventor.

Thanks for the support!

Hi,

 

may I ask what is different besides of the global illumination?
Also this visual style shows different rgb-values on different walls ... (because of different light situation)

In the picture on the right you see grey planes, and if I want to make clear to people that everything needs to be yellow, I cant say that this is the dark side, so look for yourself what is yellow and what not
