      With Version 7 coming soon (I think), it's an awkward time to be making wishes. But how hard would it be to make both sides of a surface the same color? The reason this is needed is to keep the back side colors from poking through at corners etc.

      In monochrome the sides should still show differently, and if requested one could make the sides different colors.

      The other wish I guess is for colors to not poke through at the corners.

      Thanks,

        If you make the geometry a group/component and then apply a material to the group (without entering it) it should colour the back faces as well, is that the sort of thing you meant?

        p.s. you did a double post, might want to delete the other one to keep all the replies in one place πŸ˜‰

          I would also need the reverse, a setting to keep the paint from adhering to back faces.

            That works. Good trick. At least it works if the entire component is one color.
