How do I automatically set the color of parts in an assembly?

Hello

When the client sends me .step files, the assembly is in gray and the design is difficult to distinguish.

I would therefore like to put a different color for each component in my assembly automatically, without doing piece by piece.

Thank you

Hello, in the "tools" / "evaluate" / "assembly visualization" tab.

 

It doesn't add an appearance to each piece, but it details room by room with colors and quantity.

The TreeManager tool in myCADtools allows you to randomly assign a color to the components of an assembly

Unfortunately I don't have the TreeManager tool from myCADtools.

To see if your version has TreeHouse, type in Windows search "TreeHouse"

Yes, it's TreeHouse and not TreeManager

@Acombier: Unless it's something else...

Bart is right, but the "assembly visualization" tool also allows you to assign a different color and save it in a display state! Exactly what you're looking for:
