Changing Material/face colors

[mmaes]

Hi, I am doing some renderings of some equipment and have been given stp files of said equipment.  When I bring it into Inventor (running Inventor 2016) it shows up with tons of faces.

My question is, is there a good way for me to change the colors, or do I have to click each face one by one?  Sorry if these seems like a dumb question but all the other files I am modifying are native Inventor files I have worked with before.  I am attaching the file to this thread as reference.  Thanks in advance.

I would reach back out to whomever gave it to you ...and ask for solids and not surface parts...

That's why you're having such a hard time..

Do you know what the native software was?  Maybe have them let you use that if you have R3 update for 2016 with AnyCad

You could get away with just selecting the bodies in the Browser window. When you get into the model window, you may want to change your "Selection" filter (very top of menu bar to the right of the Rebuild icon).
