CATIA wireframe color problem

3D Design Volume Model

Hello

I have a small problem with the geometric elements (lines, points) of generative shape editor.

I'd like to put the strokes with different colors.

On the other hand, my strokes appear in black and the color still remains even if I change the color properties of the element.

There is probably an option that is active and that prevents me from changing the color of the strokes.

Do you have any ideas on how to adjust the colors of wireframes in CATIA? Why does the color seem to be stuck under my session?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello

If it concerns the plan, see here:

Check the boxes: 

- Inherit 3D Colors
- Project 3D Wireframe

(Menu to get there: tools options mechanical design > drafting view)

Hello

If it is in the assembly that the lines, dots, sketches appear in black, the color put on the instance of the part must be removed and put on the part but not in the context of the assembly.

 

Edit: as soon as you change the graphic property of a part instance in an assembly, the wireframe elements and sketches appear in black, there are no options to avoid this phenomenon, (it's very unpleasant especially if you use a dark background color, black on dark blue is not great). if we put the color on the part out of the context of the assembly it's OK.

Perfect Franck.

I think you have exactly identified my problem. 

So if I summarize, you have to put the colors at the level of the parts and not the instances.

I had to change their colors via the instance and not via the part of the part and in the context of assembly hence my concern.

However, how can I now go back to remove the black color from the geometric elements? and that the colors that I define at the level of my parts appear well.

Thank you in advance for your help.

In the context of the assembly, simply right-click on the instance(s)  /  Properties: in the box, select the Graph (color) tab, then no color.

Perfect, you unlocked me perfectly and I was able to remove the black color I had on my wireframes in my assembly.
