screenshotIt bugged me there's only Pantone Libraries to select in Appearance Editor for colour matching so thought I'd do something about it and share it. The following .zip file contains 5 .txt files:RAL Classic
RAL Design
RAL Effects
RAL Plastics P1
RAL Plastics P2
Extract the .txt files to the 'PantoneColors' folder which is at C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Autodesk\Common\Material Library\20081401\slib\resource\PantoneColors on my machine.
Restart Fusion and it will add these RAL libraries as an option to the Appearance Colour Library option as in the screen grab.
This is purely for colour selection purposes no different than the Pantone ones offer, it doesn't offer anything more than simply being able to pick & colour match visually by RAL Colour Name/Code. Be aware that RAL Plastics P2 are not solid colours, they are Transparent options because this is primarily used for transparent 3D Printing Filament Plastics. To have transparency, you will need to assign the colour to a factory transparent plastic appearance, it won't do this for you as the file doesn't contain this information and neither does the Pantone ones either. RAL Metallics are obviously an RGB representation only. Hope this is of use to some. If anyone spots anything wrong let me know. The data has had to be collated from various sources as RAL don't just make it available for free. All CIE L*a*b* & RGB Values are included just as in the Pantones although I can't determine if they are used or only the RGB values?
