Error/Question: We have noticed that the colours in V16 are coming out in the incorrect categories. For example I tried to change the colour of the glass on a WMG100 from the Universal Kitchens NDS and it comes up with Leather. How do we sort this out. It is like this for all catalogues we use.
Answer/Fix:
Our Data department have had to make a change to the fusionbase which is the shader categories which are found in the colour table and help the user in fusion to find new colours. This change will not affect any of your catalogue data as the colour ID and name has not changed. But this will affect how the user finds colours in fusion for example if they search for granite colour water will come up.
To fix this problem all that needs to happen is for the analyst to delete the shader categories out of the manufacturer catalogue so that it looks to the base file. You need to open the catalogue in Ce.exe and open the colour table section, then Open the Colour Shaders section, press ctrl+A and in the edit menu please select clear.
Sorry about this, the change was needed for black box (a future catalogue creation tool that is being written).
