I have a piece part that is modeled with a specific color. When I bring that part into a brand new assembly file, it shows up in a different color (specifically a light blue-white shade). Is there a setting in SW that is changing the way parts are viewed when in assembly mode? I'd like to be able to view them in the assembly with the same appearance as they have at the piece part level. Thanks.
Mark,
Are the colors coming in that way for all parts? And is the color you want to keep in the part applied at the feature level, the body level or all the way at the top? I ask because I've had colors drive me all kinds of crazy because somebody put one color on a face, a different color on the feature and all that, so it drive you mad trying to get to the color you want.
As for a setting I'm not sure I've ever seen one. But I think Alin has a good solution just remove the ones you like.
Yes the colors are coming in the same for all parts. I would like each part to be displayed in the assembly identically as they are modeled. I have colors applied to the part level (no surfaces or anything).
That means there is an appearance applied to the whole assembly. RMB on the assembly, select the beachball and remove the appearance.
Yep, beat me to it.

Then update your assembly template.
There is no appearance that is applied to the part at the assembly level. It is a brand new assembly with no applied appearances.
In the assembly, RMB on the part, select the beach ball and remove the offending appearance(s).
