Anyone know what could cause this?

Hello - that is just not supported as far as I can see, youâll need to work the other way round.

Are you saying that once you set a custom color you can never go back? Or what is âthe other way aroundâ?
If I select the entire object, the color already says âby layerâ (which is a bit misleading⌠it should perhaps say âmixedâ) and if I select it again, nothing happens.
I just tried RemovePerFaceColors, and then I was able to start over but itâs not a great user experience.
Well, your report is not exactly 100% clear but it looks to me like you are trying to set per-face color to by layer. As far as I can see that is not allowed, and I would set the top level object to by layer and the faces that need to be different from that to whatever.

Ah, ok⌠so RemovePerFaceColors is necessary then, ie you need to start over on the entire objectâŚ
That seems a bit inflexible and wasted some time for me, so I hope that when @johnc refactors the per face material handling (as mentioned here), per face colors will also be taken into account.
Hi @pascal, on another sort of related note, what does âby parentââ mean. Iâve never seen this applied or fully understood it.
Hello - see

does that do it?
