COLOUR TO A FACE OR PART TUTORIAL

ADDING COLOUR TO A FACE OR PART

• Adding colour to a face or part is very simple.

• First however you must begin a new sketch, choose your plane, draw a shape and extrude it (unless using other methods such as revolve or sweep). Do whatever you need to finish your shape such as extrude cuts etc.

• After you are finished your shape right click on the shape or a face of the shape. and a chart will appear, click on the icon that looks like a beach ball.

CONTINUED…

• Once you click the beach ball icon, you will get another list, choose the one that says face. For example Face <1>… After you click on that you will get a table on your left hand side displaying options that include colours for your shape. You then can pick your desired coloured and it will change the selected part of your object to that colour. Once you are happy with the colour you can hit the green check mark on the top left side of the chart with the colours.

• If you want more than one area to be coloured you may click on multiple areas and they will all change to that colour instead of spending too much time having to go back and individually pick colours (It saves getting the wrong colour too). To do this follow the previous steps but when you go to choose a colour, first choose the colour you want and then click all the areas that you want to be that colour.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

• Just to be aware the colour you choose is still the same colour. The colour appears brighter when choosing from the colour chart but can become darker as when moved around it acts as though there is light and shadows.

• You can also choose between colours and textures. On the right side you simply click on the picture with the caption “texture” that is directly under the image captioned “colour”.
