Hey everybody!
So I recently got a project assigned where I must design a calculator. Now while the modeling and such is quite fine, I find the Appearance Editor (adding colors and such) quite confusing. Especially Asignments.
Under the tab Asignments there seems to be a drop down menu of multiple selections. Part, Surface, All Surfaces, Quilt, Objects, etc. From what I understand that is how the program knows what you want to be colored. Part being the whole .prt file, surface being selective surfaces, and so on.
However, I am currently stuck on attempting to color the buttons on my calculator individually. As in, I want to color my buttons a different color than my base calculator. (Ex: I want my calculator to be black, but my buttons to be white) However, I can't seem to do this without selecting the surfaces one by one (which will take a while, being that there are more than 10 surfaces per button, with over 40 buttons. Is there any way I can do this any faster?
Quite new to ProE in general so excuse my ignorance but is there a way you can color things filed in a certain Extrude? As in, color only objects that were extruded on "Extrude 1" or "Extrude 2"? If not, is there a way to separate the objects from the whole calculator itself so that while it looks like the buttons are part of the calculator file, it is simply a merge between the button files and the calculator file. Sorry if that made no sense, I just think I remember talk about that somwhere.
Thanks!
