Hi I am having trouble with applying appearances to a part. The appearance I want is anodised aluminium, so I have selected blue anodised and changed the colour, that worked but did not show up correctly in pv360. I then downloaded an appearance from the forum https://forum.solidworks.com/thread/26749 and the same problem occurred, I can't seem to figure out if it actually isn't black or the lights have something to do with it. Bear in mind I'm using sw2009 here, thanks, keithe
The appearances in that other thread...as the user posted...were meant to work in PhotoWorks. Not PhotoView. PhotoWorks is long gone. Sorry you're on 2009... Recent versions are working fine with changing the color on anodized aluminum. Here it is changed to red and green...
