Color Faces on 3D Solids
You can change the color of a face on a 3D solid object. You can choose a
color from the seven standard colors or select a color from the Select Color
dialog box. When specifying a color, you can enter the name of the color or
an AutoCAD Color Index (ACI) number, an integer from 1 through 255. Set-
ting a color on a face overrides the color setting for the layer on which the
solid object resides. For information about assigning colors, see “Work with
Colors” on page 187.

Modify Edges of 3D Solids
You can change the color of edges or copy individual edges on a 3D solid
object. Colors are selected from the Select Color dialog box. All 3D solid
edges are copied as lines, arcs, circles, ellipses, or spline objects.
Color Edges
You can assign colors to individual edges on your 3D solid object. You can
choose a color from the seven standard colors or select a color from the Select
Color dialog box. When specifying a color, you can enter the name of the
color or an ACI number, an integer from 1 through 255. Setting a color on
an edge overrides the color setting for the layer on which the solid object
resides. For information about assigning colors, see “Work with Colors” on
page 187.
Copy Edges
You can copy individual edges on a 3D solid object. All edges are copied as
lines, arcs, circles, ellipses, or splines. If you specify two points, AutoCAD uses
the first point as a base point and places a single copy relative to the base
point. If you specify a single point, and then press
ENTER, AutoCAD uses the
original selection point as a base point and the next point as a point of
displacement.
