Re: 3d pdf
A rough translation:
I have problems with 3D pdf again and again. My modules always arrive only without colors in the 3D PDF. Sometimes (not comprehensible), a component comes in color across.
I excluded already many possible causes and still no solution., RealView deactivates / activates before the export, white background of the export - colors of the components on component-level or Baugruppenene adjusted before the export ...
If maybe somebody still has can test an idea something one or where my thought-mistake is.

Re: 3d pdf
Andreas welcome to SW forums.
Can you post a 3D pdf here from you system to check how we see it.
In German
Andreas willkommen Foren SW.
Können Sie nach einem 3D-PDF hier aus Ihrem System zu überprüfen, wie wir es sehen.

Re: 3d pdf
here is my 3DPDF
the 2 hooks and the connecter at the upper end must be red - in swx ist the color correct (color of the part)
-
Re: 3d pdf
i have solution
the red from the part is not enough. i must also change the color in the assy.

Re: 3d pdf
I feel you have a top level appearance set in the assembly means the assembly appearance is covering the part appearances. Do you see your assembly colored or just gray/black

Re: 3d pdf
1.
part color is red
i see in the assy the part red
but 3dpdf is gray
2.
part color is red
part color in assy is spec. also red (defined in the assy)
3dpdf is red
IS THIS NORMAL? I DONT THINK SO.

Re: 3d pdf
Has anyone found a resolution with SW parts/assemblies going all gray when exported to 3Dpdf?
I'm having a similar problem.
I'm using SW 2011 SP4 x64

Re: 3d pdf
Hi Andreas and Nelson,
here is what I found out (after having the same issues with getting the 3d pdf parts all in gray and being hard to distinguish..)
The color of the parts must be defined within the assembly. Take a look at the appearance definition in the assembly:
Note how all parts are "green" on their individual part level. Now in the assembly I can force a different appearance onto each part - red, magenta and cyan for the sake of showing how it works..
If you now create a 3D pdf from the assembly it will come out as shown in the file.
(ignore the fact that it is a dirty "thickened" surface model..I have issues getting the surfaces to look ok. They seem to be good from one side, but the "backside" of the surfaces looks transparent, consequently half of my model dissapears depending on how many backsides face the viewer at a given position)
