        so you want the edge have the same color/material as the face ?

              What Csaba shows works pretty well, too. The colored lines in this drawing have no faces associated with them. It's simply layer associations.

                Maybe i'm a dumbass about this but here's my request...

                I've an organic mesh painted red with Colour by material 'on'

                I place that mesh in Layer 1 which is green

                When i set Colour by Layer the Colour Edge by Material remains

                So Green Face and Red Edge

                Possible?

                  I met you and I'm pretty sure you're not a dumbass.

                  So here's what I got.

                  color by layer1.jpg

                  Color By Material

                  color by layer.jpg

                  Color By Material AND Color By Layer

                  I get the same thing if I make a component of the shape, leave the geometry on Layer 0 and associate only the component with layer 1. Is it possible the lines are associated with a different layer than the faces?

                    Same as me. Is it a styles feature?
