Colour Lines by Layer

[Rich O Brien]

I convinced i was able to do this. Now i'm struggling to find it?

Have I gone mad?

I've seen that option but i was hoping i could geometry tied to colour by layer. Oh well.

Thanks Tavi

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

[Gaieus]

IF you set your style edges to colour b material AND your layers to colour by layer...

But i want edge colours different from layer colours. This isn't happening for me?

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 Material

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?

[Rich O Brien]

Same as me. Is it a styles feature?

[Dave R]

Shouldn't be.

[Rich O Brien]

Case Solved....i'm a dumbass

Thanks Dave
