Hi,

I tried to get/set (change) the color of a body from a STEP-File imported.

The code is as follows:

var importFileData = _solidWorks.GetImportFileData("part.stp");

int errors = 0;

_solidWorks.LoadFile4("part.stp", "", importFileData, ref errors);

IPartDoc part = _solidWorks.ActiveDoc as IPartDoc;

IModelDoc2 model = _solidWorks.ActiveDoc as IModelDoc2;

var bodiesAsObject = (object[])part.GetBodies2((int)swBodyType_e.swAllBodies, false);

SelectionMgr swSelMgr = (SelectionMgr)model.SelectionManager;

SelectData swSelData = (SelectData)swSelMgr.CreateSelectData();

var bodies = bodiesAsObject.Cast().ToArray();

foreach (IBody2 body in bodies) {

  if(null != body.MaterialPropertyValues2) {

    var material = body.MaterialPropertyValues2 as double[];

    body.Select2(false, swSelData);

    material[0] = 1;

    material[1] = 0;

    material[2] = 0;

    body.MaterialPropertyValues2 = material;

    model.ForceRebuild3(false);

  }

}

The result is as follows:

As you can see, “Body” gets the new color assigned.

But I need to set the color of “Importiert1” – how can I achieve this?

Please find the STEP-File attached.

Thanks,

Alex
