Assembly appearance problem

Hi all

I currently need to edit appearances in an assembly and then render in Photoview.

When I reopen my assembly after saving it with all of these proper appearances and textures, it resumes on some parts, not all, their original appearances.

I don't want to change the appearance of the parts, only in my assembly.

If anyone can help me,

Thank you

Hello

It looks like a bug, is it the last SP version of SolidWorks available?

For SolidWorks 2016, it's SP3, and for 2015 and earlier, it's SP5

I'm on Solidworks 2014 so in SP5

try to create a config for your part that is in your assembly

via a name change (name extension)

and your assembly will go and get this config which has its own appearance

and your basic configue will always be neutral

it is in general I think simpler than

Each piece is its own appearance

and that these are the parts that make up your assembly
