Multiple colors/appearances about lattice2 HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi!
Lattice2 Pattern feature does not respect appearance setting of the body it is in. You may have better success with your project if you avoid PartDesign, and use Part workflow instead. Lattice2 is actually made for Part workflow more than it is for PartDesign.

Also, Lattice2 was not made with shape colors in mind, so difficulties are to be expected unfortunately. (Lattice2 mostly uses colors to indicate if the object is an array of placements or an array of objects: orange is for placements, gray is for objects; gray is actually default shape color setting in freecad)

after rereading your request, I realize that you are modeling the full shape of the relay as one PartDesign Body. PartDesign Body does not support feature colors, the body can only have one color. So, you should use Part workbench, at least for the last step of unifying the relay body with the pins.

Thanks for your help and suggestions. I've actually never used the Part workbench, so I'll give it a shot.
