It sure can. You can assign a color to each componant. -AD :twisted:

Here is an image of the Heron Sign from the tutorials. As you can see different materials/colors assigned to each element. You can also add your own materials as well in the same way you can add them to VCP for preview coloring.

Cheers,
James

No ...

The image is of the actual model itself, not the toolpath preview. Each individual component in the model can have its own colour / material. It would be very difficult to achieve the effect shown from a coloured toolpath preview because you would need to use different toolpaths for each area you wanted a different colour.

You can change colors/ material from within the component manager, which in turn will change the look of your 3d preview. You cannot color your toolpath generated project.
