<p data-path-to-node=”4″>Hello,<\/p><p data-path-to-node=”5″>I am experiencing a persistent issue in Ansys Maxwell 2D\/3D regarding object display and color settings.<\/p><p data-path-to-node=”6″><strong data-path-to-node=”6″ data-index-in-node=”0″>1. Color Discrepancy After Duplication:<\/strong> Even when I duplicate an object (whether using Copy\/Paste or the Duplicate tool), the color of the new object appears different from the original.<\/p><ul data-path-to-node=”7″><\/p>\n

  • <p data-path-to-node=”7,0,0″>I have verified that both objects have identical <strong data-path-to-node=”7,0,0″ data-index-in-node=”49″>Properties<\/strong>: the same <strong data-path-to-node=”7,0,0″ data-index-in-node=”70″>Material<\/strong>, the same <strong data-path-to-node=”7,0,0″ data-index-in-node=”89″>Color code<\/strong>, and <strong data-path-to-node=”7,0,0″ data-index-in-node=”105″>Transparency<\/strong> is set to 0 for both.<\/p><\/li>\n
  • <p data-path-to-node=”7,1,0″><strong data-path-to-node=”7,1,0″ data-index-in-node=”0″>Display Wireframe<\/strong> is unchecked for both.<\/p><\/li>\n
  • <p data-path-to-node=”7,2,0″>Even when I manually select both objects and force them to the same color, they appear visually different in the Modeler window.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    <p data-path-to-node=”8″><strong data-path-to-node=”8″ data-index-in-node=”0″>2. Missing ‘Modeler Options’ Menu:<\/strong> To resolve this, I attempted to disable the “Automatically assign distinct colors” option.

Request for Assistance:<\/strong><\/p><ul data-path-to-node=”10″><\/p>\n

  • <p data-path-to-node=”10,0,0″>How can I access the <strong data-path-to-node=”10,0,0″ data-index-in-node=”21″>Modeler Options<\/strong> to disable automatic color assignment in the latest version 2025?<\/p><\/li>\n
  • <p data-path-to-node=”10,1,0″>Why do objects with identical property settings (Color, Transparency, Material) display different shades, and how can I force them to look exactly the same?<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    <p data-path-to-node=”11″>I have attached screenshots of my menu and the color discrepancy for your reference.<\/p><p data-path-to-node=”12″>Thank you for your help.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-456197","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
