Selection of 3D meshes is always white - Why?

Hi there,

my selection of 3D meshes I get when I click on the tool button on the right is always white. All 3D meshes are always white regardless of the material chosen. However if I choose one 3D mesh from the selection (white) and put it on the canvas it has the proper material that was chosen - but the initial selection is always white. Any idea?

Thank you!

The Tool palette preview material is white - it’s the SkinShade4 material. I suppose it’s so you can clearly see your model in the previews such as the subtool list, whatever material you have selected.

i guess i was confused because in most tutorials (which are obviously older) the color of the tool palette matched the chosen material. thanks so much for confirming

Yes, it was changed a couple of versions back, if I remember correctly.
