give the same color to all parts of a group in just one click

[Kaji]

to me it does not seem complicated to select the parts with recurrence in the group or with a window and then go into ownership part and change the color to all, but some occasional users of modeling of the office ask me if there is a shorter way; Do you know a lisp that does everything by selecting only the group?

thanks for the availability.

Good morning.
property part, appearance, copy in, dragon window on objects to change, from realized in instance or base, copy color part, copy reflectance and exclude other options, ok. done.

the canonical method to change color to the parts, either as an instance or as a base color I know it, but I needed for those who are less familiar with the selection of the parts and the change of the properties of the parts,

I found an English lisp to attribute colors, gives random colors and when choosing color for instance gives different color to shared parts, while I would need a lisp that gives the same color to all parts of the group.

I still attach the lisp I found on the net if you're interested in someone

this macro attached, downloaded from the usual site claus brod, does not exactly what is required, but something similar with a few clicks. in practice exchange two colors. to select the parts having the same color to change in the new one you have to use the dragon window.

opss, the macro I posted has a very good side effect:
changes the default color of the new created parts later.
to remedy you need to act on basic 3d-color object settings part!
Sorry.

actually on the same page where I found the first lisp, there was also the one that gives the same color, only that I thought the English version of the site was no longer accessible, while some pages are not all yet, so going to the German one I did not give weight to the last lines of the paragraph.
the only flaw is that, unlike the first lisp, it crashes when it finds a padlocked part, even if choosing the option to change the color to the instance and all groups are lacking.
