Surfaces to Orange Shrinkwrap

I Received a 3D .DWG file from another company and was able to convert it into a .IGES file for Inventor 2018 which opened it as a mixture of parts and surfaces. After much work, I was able finally get a usable copy and it needed to be my base for attaching other objects to. Due to the large file size I tried to shrink wrap the original and it rendered in an orange color with yellow edges. I was eventually able to hide the yellow edges by changing the view to shaded or realistic but I cannot change the color of the objects to a galvanized grey. What steps should I take?Solid partsSolid partsShrink wrapped VersionsShrink wrapped Versions

Attach original *.dwg file here (IGES was never needed).

I converted to .IGES as I found it was the only way to convert the mesh into solid parts so that I could eventually create an assembly around it. Attached is the Original .DWG

Hi! I believe you will need to select the Composite node in the shrinkwrap part and assign a color to it. It should work.

Many thanks!
