Visualizing Discrete Properties

You can use a spectrum that steps from one distinct color to the next to help you visualize a property with discrete values, such as MakeOrBuy.

In this case, the blend of colors applied in the graphics area does not accurately represent that only two discrete values are possible.

Depending on the location of the yellow slider in the vertical bar, your image may be different.

1. Right-click one of the color sliders and click Group Identical.
   The red, yellow, and blue sliders disappear, and are replaced by four new sliders. Two of the new sliders are red, and two are blue. In the graphics area, all the B parts are red and all the M parts are blue.

   If rubber feet is selected, it appears in a third color (the selection color). Click a blank region of the graphics area to clear the selection and show rubber feet in its Assembly Visualization color.

   To change the colors, you can right-click each slider and click Change Color.

   You can change the default colors used by Group Identical. Click Tools > Options > System Options > Colors. Under Color scheme settings, select Assembly Visualization number and click Edit.
2. Click File > Save to This PC.
3. In the Save Modified Documents dialog box, click Save All.
   The custom column data is saved. This data appears the next time that you access Assembly Visualization in this model.
