Give color to objects quickly?

[DanCraddick]

Looking for a fast and easy way to fill in a 2d object.  Step 1.) Arrange 3d objects for illustration.  Step 2.) Project to 2D.  Step 3.)  Need to fill individual parts with yellow!!!.....

Any ideas?

Dan - which tool do you use? IsoDraw CadProcess ?

Oh sorry, IsoDraw 7.3

The easiest way is to work with "Contour sets"

Look at here: Re: Managing details and contours in IsoDraw

Here's an extract from the manual:

About Contour Sets

A contour set is a named collection of 3D objects, such as parts in a subassembly, that are highlighted with the same color when you project them to 2D. The highlight is a flat-shaded color fill inside each object’s projected 2D contour.

1.You can use the fill color tool in Palette window for a closed path.

2.Second way is, duplicate the part and make a bezier path of outlines of the line art to be filled and fill color with fill window.

  later place the filled layer behind the original line art.

    I would suggest you to create a new color set in fill window and make use of it to fill easily.

Hope it helps.
