Hello!
First post - forgive me of my ignorance. I will try to be as descript as possible.
I have a multi-color print. Inside however, are hidden references to other colors. Once sliced it will show 4 filaments being used in the purge tower when only 3 are visible. Additionally, another situation similar, is when dealing with “walls” of a model. Painting the top black for a cats face, and white for the indentations, but the walls are purple between the black and white layers… besides going through and manually painting all of those walls black, how can I simply select an entire color/filament reference, and replace all references to that filament in an object with another color/filament?
Any answer will do besides, manually painting it, as my first example, you may not be able to even see where its using that 4th color and just live with the extra color changes and wasted filament instead of dealing with it proper in the slicer.
Thank you! I value your time so thank you in advance for reading!
I would love to know the answer to this too! I am only using 3 of the 4 colors in my print but there were 4 originally… and even though it looks like I painted all the colors with the 3 I wanted it still shows using the 4th color! I basically want a find/replace for a color.
using the preview tab, you can hide colors from view to find the spots still being used by the color you want to remove completely with painting. Bit of a round about solution, but, its better than having an un-necessary filament change for some spec in the middle of a model that painting missed.
Just leaving this solution as a work around for those in the future.

I am having this issue too and not sure how to fix. I built an ornament with the MakerWorld ornament creator. I saved the 3mf file and loaded into BambuStudio. When I slice it there are 5 color filaments listed and there should only be 4. If I scroll down through the layers, I see the 5th color (which I made green to see it) but it is just a couple of lines that should be the brown. Is there a way to change this to brown or remove it from the prepare tab. I can not see the green anywhere in the prepare tab. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Steve
I just figured this out and wanted to share what I found…
On the prepare tab, I changed the Process section from Global to Objects. Then I was able to see the green filament and right click on it to change the filament to a different color. Now I just have 4 colors! Hope this helps someone.
