Well I know how to get parts to be 2 colors.

1. Create a Box
2. Color the Surfaces (ie. Green)
3. Create some cuts

Now your cuts are silver (default color) and the rest of the part is Green like you specified. Very affective for machined parts to see where the machined surfaces are.

I didn't not create this technic, it came from Pro-User conference last year.

Hope this helps, Glenn |B)

Now as far as family tables parts go, it can be done, it will require the use of surfaces.

I did this for an LED. I wanted 1 green, 1 red and 1 yellow. I created the part with the lense red as the default. Then I created 2 surfaces over the existing red one gave them like a .001 offset of the origianl surface.

Then in the family table you simple call the feature that you want to be whatever color you need. It's alittle bit of work, but the pictorial results are great come pretty picture time.

Again, hope this helps, Glenn |B)
