Hi everyone, i have made an extrusion of several circles to make some kind of holes. I'd like to select independently from each other each surface at the bottom of the hole. Actually i'd like to apply different colors for each different hole. Do you know how to perform it? Thanks a lot This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

View -> Color and Appearance In the Assignment section you'll see a drop-down menu that starts with Part, expand and select Surface, pick your surface, accept, choose color and click Apply. Rodney WF3 M140
Rodney, thanks for your help, but i'm afraid this is not so easy. Indeed, i can't select only one surface of all these that have been created in a unique extrusion. Best regards
You are correct, if the surfaces have the same id (as in created by the same feature) you will not be able to select the surfaces individually. you have a few choices here: 1) Create separate holes/extrudes so you end up with individually selectable surfaces for appearances. 2) Create a pattern of holes/extrudes so you end up with individually selectable surfaces for appearances. 3)Take the feature you have currently (extrude with multiple circles) and copy/paste surfaces, then apply appearances to the copied surfaces individually. -S Tucker, PTC
I don't think this is correct. I do this all the time. Did you try changing the selection filter to quilt? What version of ProE? I've selectively shaded individual surfaces, regardless of their method of creation, in all versions of ProE that I've used.
