Multi-colored surface?

[kerklein2]

Is it possible to have multiple colors on a single surface,
perhaps defined by a sketch? I have forced this in the
past by creating small .001" cuts, but that is not ideal.
Today I tried creating a sketch and using the Fill command
to create a surface. This works, but it suffers from the
shading problem created by two coincident surfaces.

Surely there is a way to do this?

you take a JPG image and then apply that image to a color in the color menu. then, you use that new color to apply to a part or surfaces on a part. it's usually how I apply a product label to my model once my graphic artists have come up with the design.

And how would one go about doing that?

You can also dothis using ISDX along with a combination of other surface features, such as fill and boundary blend, and replace the solid surface using the offset command.
