Apperence/Material Color

[paulschuepbach]

Hello all,

I have the following problem since the 'RenderStyle' Object has been removed from the API: some Materials in Material Assets do have a Color information, such as RGB-Value and Opacity:

generic_diffuse 127   127   63   1

Other Materials do not have a Color information - when the graphic style has a Texture (see pic).

How can I get the RGB-Code from a Material (or from a Face etc....) when the Apperance has a Texture?

Best, Paul

Have you migrated?

[paulschuepbach]

Yes, all Parts and Assemblies are migrated

[bradeneuropeArthur]

You need to migrate the material library too.

??? this are Materials from the 2018 Material Library... - what shell to be migrating then?

[bradeneuropeArthur]

The old one to the new definitions...

[paulschuepbach]

I don't see why there shell be the need for any migration. Again: this are Materials from the Inventor Matrerial Library 2018. My question was: how do I get the RGB-code from the used Material - some Materials have a RGB code in the definibition, others don't - if they have a texture.

In other words: what is the Colors RGB code of a face (for example) ?

Ok explanation!
The material used in the document defer from the library you are using.

So if you would like to have them the same as in the past, you need to migrate the old library to a new 2018 library. They have a complete other definition, and are stored in a complete different database.

That's why you need to migrate the old library you were using to a new 2018 library file.

Hope this will help you.....
