[SOLVED] Can I change the colour of the PCB in a 3D view?

[jurek]

Default is green and I would like to change it - is it possible?

Yes, you can do it in the board stackup section . . .

Or directly in the 3D viewer preferences . . .

I can’t get this to work. I tried changing the F.Mask and B.Mask colours to Red like you showed, but nothing changes in the 3D view.

My 3D viewer preferences doesn’t have a Colors subdialogue. It looks like this:

Have you set this checkbox in the 3D viewer?

[retiredfeline]

I don’t have that checkbox in my 3D viewer preferences. Here are the other 2 subdialogues in addition to the one already posted:

Oops, it’s not a preference, it’s in the Appearances panel. That works. Now I can see the blue mask that I usually order. Thanks!

That was probably from when I was on V7.x.x it was approx 18 months ago
