      I tried to record a macro for changing the part appearance. However, the code does not show anything regarding the change. Does anyone have any example (e.g. change RGB and change the transparent)

      Thank

          Sure, see the code - just set the number of RGB

           

          Set swApp = Application.SldWorks

              Set swModelDoc = swApp.ActiveDoc

              Set swPart = swModelDoc

            

              vMatProps = swPart.MaterialPropertyValues  

              'Define the RGB values (1 = RGB value 255)

              vMatProps(0) = 154 / 255 'R

              vMatProps(1) = 155 / 255 'G

              vMatProps(2) = 156 / 255 'B

            

              swPart.MaterialPropertyValues = vMatProps

              swModelDoc.GraphicsRedraw2

              swModelDoc.Save3 swSaveAsOptions_Silent, nErrors, nWarnings
