Color the different parts of an assambly

Hello,

the last few days' I tried to get used with Salome. I find out, that it is a great and very powerful tool.

But I have a question related to colouring different parts of an assembly.

I imported an assembly with different parts. For me it is easier to navigate thru the assembly if I assign to the parts different colours. It is not difficult to do this manually. I also managed to write a little python script to automatize this step.

Now my problem is:

- When I colour the parts manually in the GUI the defined colours stay attached to the part after hiding and showing them again. 

- When I colour the parts using the python script I have wrote, I see the colours, but after hiding and showing the parts, they disappear and all parts are coloured in yellow. My python script is:

import salome
import geompy
salome.salome_init()
gg = salome.ImportComponentGUI("GEOM")
...
gg.setDisplayMode(ID,1)
gg.setColor(ID,red,green,blue)

Do anybody know how to improve my python script.

Best Regards

hello feri,

you could try:

import salome

import SALOMEDS

.....

gg = salome.ImportComponentGUI("GEOM")

ID_objects_list = salome.sg.getAllSelected()

for ID in ID_objects_list:                            
        object = salome.myStudy.FindObjectID(ID).GetObject()
        object.SetColor(SALOMEDS.Color( x, y, z ))        #where x,y,z  are between 0 and 1        
        gg.createAndDisplayGO(ID)
