Is it possible to change the colors of a modeled mechanism after it has been build?
I know the colors of objects created from e.g. STEP files can be changed under Options...>More options>Change colors, but once they have been turned into a mechanism, I can't find such options. I could rebuild an entirely new mechanism using recolored objects, but this would then require to go through the hassle of adding TCPs, child mechanisms and reference frames, and updating all the existing links in the station etc., almost like starting from scratch.
Alternatively, being able to add a new object from an updated STEP file and reload it into an existing mechanism would be convenient, as it would provide full flexibility over changing both colors and shape.
Kind regards,
Maarten
