Keyshot - how to assign different material to individual SolidWorks patterned parts?
I've read how to color different parts in SolidWorks, so you can apply different materials to them.
But how to do that when it's a pattern of a single SolidWorks part?
I figured out how to color them individually in SW. But they still come into Keyshot still as one piece.

Thanks everyone. Tried geometry editor. Works great for individual surfaces. Found the solution for these parts. In Scene tab, right click->unlink material. Then can texture each part individually.
Hi Chris,
Try to remove all appearances from part and then apply colour to individual faces.
When you importing to Keyshot make sure that 'group by object' and 'separate materials by parts' is selected under Materials and Structure.
In KS release 6 there is a geometry editor allowing to separate faces on a single object so you can assign any colour or material on each face of a cube per example without having to separate the faces in a CAD.
