Iā€™ll get a screenshot when Iā€™m back on the other computer where BambuLab is installed.

I have just reviewed the thread again. There seems to be a presumption that the model in question was created by me on my software, or at least no apparent notice of what happens when one loads a downloaded project into Studio.

If the model was created by someone who had their software set up for a different printer from mine, the first thing Studio does is direct me to change the model profile to match the installed printer on my computer. This then triggers a Sync of printer data, which in turn triggers a resync of the filament load.

That filament resync alters the colors specified by the original creator to the filaments that are mounted on my printer in the same AMS slots. This includes the colors on the Paint menu.

For the model, I can then go through and reassign filaments and colors to the modelā€™s parts, even using filaments that are in different AMS slots than the creator used.

In the Paint menu, the only way to change paint colors is to Erase All Painting and then do it over. Simply clicking on a filament in the paint menu does not work. The change does not stick.

This was the crux of my original query. If I can change part colors by clicking on the filament I want to use, then why can I not do the same thing in the Paint menu?

It is doable in the paint menu, What Malc is trying to explain does work most of the time.

It does not work on the latest BambuLab on my PC, nor has it worked on any previous version I have used. If it never works, then it is a missing feature. If it works sporadically, then it is a bug.

And yet you havenā€™t provided any links to any example models you have tried so others can see if this is or is not possible.

Ranting is fun, I enjoy it, but you imply you want a solution yet do nothing to help others to help you.

@DaveNF2G if you post a link to the model, Iā€™ll try the recolour on your exact file and put a screenshot up here. Easier to settle it on a real example.
