Search a model tree and change the color of parts found

[Former Member]

I am not new to SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Author 8.0 x64....

However I am new to some of the scripting abilities. Is it possible to have a script search the model tree and change the color of a parts list?

Hi Corey,

SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Author 8.0 x64 does not have scripting abilities, but the SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer 8.0 32-bit does have scripting abilities.

It is scriptable from javascript in HTML and c#, and other Com compatible hosting environments.

I recommend downloading and installing both the Viewer and the SDK. You can begin this process from the links below:

And then checking out some of the examples in your language of choice.

To answer your question regarding changing the color of a parts list. Parts can have their color changed temporarily with the Node.Paint(Color c) method, or changed permanently by changing a Node's Material (eg Node.Material.DiffuseColor = Creator.Color.create(r,g,b)
