Beginner's Guide to SOLIDWORKS 2019- Level I

Applied to a part or sub-assembly

Component in the assembl .

Applied to a part's face.
Face

Feature Applied to a part's feature.

Body Applied to a part's body.

Part Applied to the entire part.

For example, in our assembly we changed the color of the components in

the assembly covering the part's color (defined by the material). If we remove it

we'll see the part's material color in the assembly; if we had applied a different

appearance to a face or feature we would see those, too, as they are higher in the

hierarchy than the part.

the graphics area. In this step, we'll remove the color from the 'Top Cover. Select

the 'Top Cover in the graphics area and click in the "Appearances" command from

the pop-up menu. In the drop-down list, we can see all the levels at which we can

work with the appearance. Select the red "X" to delete the color we added at the

assembly level. To edit the color, we would select the color box next to the

assembly level. The absence of a color box means there is no appearance at that

level.
