Change Component Color to RGB Value

mk92 · ‎11-14-2017

Hi,

is it possible to change the Component color to an RGB value?

Instead of:

Component.Color("Part_1:1") = "Cyan"

Like (255,255,0) or anything.

If found this thread:

But in hope there is an easier way without any subs and so on.

Kind regards.

Don't think so.

The appearances are set using appearance assets, so unless the method automatically created it, you are SOL.

You can make the sub do all the work and just call it with 1 line (and associated arguments) in your main code body though... Just need to place the sub somewhere in the same rule.
