Control the colour of the model with a parameter

Hello everyone. I hope that some of you experts will be able to help me. We are trying to create models which are fully controlled by parameters. The system is working very well so far. We now want to improve it and be able to have different colours depending on the type of coating. We have a restricted parameter that we called COATING and it contains several values (zinc plated, nickel plated etc....). We want to create a relation between the value of the parameter and the colour of the model. If we manage this, it will increase the speed at which models are created. All the parameters are at the moment populated from a User Interface and it is passed on to the proe model. Up to now we failed to find out how to create this relation. Any help will be very much appreciated. Thank you in anticipation

Chris If you create multiple materials within your part with different colors you should be able to change the color of the part by changing the material. The relation for changing the material should look something like this: if COATING = "zinc" ptc_material_name="zinc" endif if COATING = "nickel" ptc_material_name="nickel" endif Hope this helps Hugo
