One part has two colors？ - ragnarok - 2020-05-28

I use "SolidWorks" to make parts. Some parts have two colors. I want to import "part designer" with two fixed colors. What should I do?

Make two separate parts? most of the time (except patterns and some dual injection parts) two colors parts are separate molds.

If some colors of this part are fixed and some colors can be modified in "studio", how can I do it?

The portions that are modifiable should be given the color 16, and those that are fixed should get the appropriate code for the color (0 for black, 15 for white, and so on). Color 16 basically means "whatever color the user assigns to it".

For modifiable portions that are lines/edges, use color 24 instead of color 16.

OK, thank you very much. I'll go and study
