Color a multi-body part in a 2d without using the shaded image style

Hello

As part of an assembly plan, I would like to make the welds appear in red (both seen from the top on the Image). Welds are 2 bodies of the same piece.

Unfortunately on the isometric view I am forced to put my entire assembly in Display Style: "Stop in shaded image mode" to avoid seeing the weld behind my welded part (bottom view on Image 1).

Note: the back weld is partially visible on the isometric view so I don't want to hide it.

Do you have a solution that will prevent me from having any other parts than my colored welds?

Hello vmuller,
Just a question just to answer your question, indeed I didn't encounter this problem. But to remedy this problem, why don't you simply leave it shaded?
… Keep me informed, good luck.
I just tried it, it doesn't work for me too with SW2022 SP4.

As I can't reproduce your problem, several questions:

  1. How are your welds made?
  2. How do you put the color?

Hello

So I don't want to leave it shaded because I find that it visually overloads the plan and that in the case I'm exposing it's a small room.

I'm currently on SW2020.

  1. Welds are a sweep

  2. The colors are added thanks to a display state

Hello @vmuller

Can you post your subset (part and MEP) that I'm looking at

Kind regards

haaa, but it's not a multi-body part of the case, it's a standard assembly! :slight_smile:

Here are the files.

Hello vmuler,
So now, indeed I can't understand, I'm looking at this next week, sorry.
OR redo your two-piece weld seam, and hide the one you don't want, that's all I can see.

Good luck.

Hello A.R

So I can't hide one of the two because I want to see the visible part of the weld on my isometric view.

Thank you

Hello @vmuller ,

In a drawing, only the shaded mode, with or without edges, is able to manage the visible or hidden parts of a part or assembly, and to display the color of the faces. The other modes only take into account the edges of the bodies...

One possible way to bring out the red color of the welds is to make the color of the other bodies " disappear ", by pushing their light properties to the maximum:

  • in the appearance of the rooms, Illumination tab, value of the Light intensity increased to 100 W/m2/sr;
  • in the assembly's DisplayManager , the ambient light value increased to 1.

Bodies treated in this way appear in white, only welds are shown in red.

In the drawing, the welds stand out in colour, especially if the background is itself white.

Since the representations are in fact projections of the 3D model, it can be useful to improve the quality of the representation: Tools, Options, Document Properties tab, Image Quality menu, Shaded Image Resolution slider, etc.
Kind regards.

error! (I was going to say something stupid)

Thank you very much, this is the solution I was looking for

And thank you again to all for your help
