Finding, creating new colors for use in Solid works Visualize.

Orfeo Lauffer Apr 11, 2017 7:05 AM

Greetings to all.

My name is Orfeo Lauffer, I have started using Solid works Visualize recently and have still a lot to learn. I'm looking for colors among others: concrete, cement, carbon steel and a number RAL colors. Is there a way of getting, finding, creating these colors so that I can apply them to the models.

Thank You in advance.

With kind regards.

Brian Hillner did this great tutorial on using the Color Dropper to get whatever color you want from any image file.
