reset default colors

[Alx84]

Good morning to all,
I would have the need, after coloring some faces of a solid to highlight them in the design phase, to restore the default color. not selecting a similar color from the palette but restoring the original (with the gray color box with dotted contour).
Is there a method to do this?

thanks to all for the collaboration.

if n erro with the part clean up, if you just need to reset the color on faces

file> utilities > part cleanup.

at the bottom of the dialog box select 'remove all changes' option for 'component display'

ok/apply

Thanks for the advice!
I tried, but the faces and which had been assigned a color remain unchanged.
I am waiting for other solutions

Thank you.

as you changed the color of some faces so you can change the color of all the solid.
the command is edit object display (ctrl+j), select the solid and instead of clicking on the dotted gray casel click on inherit and select a face with the original color.
Let me know.

He explicitly wrote that he didn't want to provide that way.
the part clean up I thought it worked.
I need to check better.

the proposed solution @alx84 It's what's going on do not select a similar color but the color of the solid.
to see what was the original color you have to go into preferences object and see what is the default color of the solid that will have in certain id. then just always go to edit object display and type the id so obtained in the appropriate box.
the suggestion you gave you only works on the display changes made on component in together and reset the color and transparency, for example, bringing it back to that of the part.

thanks also to _ for the suggestion,
In fact it is what we do now to restore colors.
In this way, however, sometimes it happens that, adding successful work, the new faces that are created take the color they want and we have to "recolor" everything.
for this I hoped in an option to restore colors.

summing up:

• the colored components together (do not store the color given to them, the color window remains always and however gray with the dotted contour) are restored reassigning the color with inherit or with the id.
• the individual faces of the colored components together instead can be restored with the part cleanup.
• the faces and solids in the part (memorise the given color) are also restored with inherit or with the id.

Thank you.

--cut--

I usually do this:

1 those all the solid color 'final' I want to get when I work the piece
2 those only external faces of other colour representing the unworked/grey parts

when I follow the processing, the color that will appear in the worked area will be the one given to point 1

I also use this technique, usually when there is to work objects that undergo various stages of processing.

• monto the component "grezzo"
• faccio il wave geomerty link
• check a color to the feature (in this way if the colors of the faces go crazy just reassign color to the wave)
• I do the processing (the inner part of the solid remains of the color of the "great").

problems arise when in intermediate stages only a few faces are highlighted which must be changed.
performing subsequent work the new faces take the color of the solid, wave or colored faces in a seemingly random manner and, if it does not intervene promptly, then it becomes difficult to restore colors so that there are no more problems.
