      Hi,

      I assigned a lot of materials (just colors) to my model. While using orbit, for some reason, all the material colors become invisible. I cant get them back - tried restarting.

      The entity info suggests the materials are still assigned to one face. I tried reversing faces to see it was on the inside. but its not.

      Is there some way to show/hide material colors?

      Thanks
      Alex

        Materials don't just 'disappear'.
        Not unless you close the SKP without saving some changes...
        I assume they are all still in the Model tab of the 'Material Browser'.

        Use the 'Styles' toolbar to change the View Mode.Capture.PNG The Shaded Mode will show colors only.
        Shaded-with-Textures also shows any textures...
        You might have picked one of the other Modes that ignores colors - like Monochrome [far right, which just shows default front/back materials, useful when re-orienting colored faces], or Hidden-Line which is 'black and white'...

        Alternatively check for any faces that are hidden [View > Hidden Geometry > ON] and also OFF layers...

          Great - I must have changed the style by accident. Thanks
