Problem
This article is a guide to help you fix the issue when the part inserted into the assembly has a different color compared to the original color in the part file, as shown in the picture below. This is commonly caused by the lighting effects being different between the part and assembly, causing one file to appear brighter or darker than normal. This article goes over the steps to find which light is incorrect and adjust it so the part and assembly match.
Solution
-
Within both the part and assembly, go into the Appearance tab of the feature manager, then into the Lights folder
-
Right-click and suppress a single one-directional light at a time until both the assembly and part file match
- Once you find the directional light that is the cause of the mismatch in lighting, right-click the feature and choose to edit the directional light
- Modify the values in this window so the values in the assembly and part are similar and click the green check-mark to save the change.
-
After exiting the edit tool, both the part and assembly should look similar.
