Looking for RAL library? right place to be.

| RAL library |
A while back I have posted a RAL appearance
library and it’s been copied, shared, and spread all over, some crediting while others not but you can still identify your own work
especially if you’ve done a mistake or two.
While
I don’t use it anymore I have been asked by colleagues on my previous company
to see if I can migrate, update it to work with 2015 and now with 2017 so I’ve
decided to share it once again for the greater good. Some people will take
credit, not doubt about it but that’s life and not why we are here.
Unfortunately
it didn’t quite migrate as expected and I am seeing the colors a lot brighter
in 2017 preview window almost as if they had self illumination, which I did check and it’s
not.
Don’t be fooled
by this, it’s only the preview thumbnails that have brighter aspects and the
models will look right, and so the edit appearance window.

| Small mismatch |
Use
it as it is, good or bad it’s still better than renaming an existing color manually
every time.
This
is especially useful in 2017 now that we can use the appearance as a reported property,
in parts lists, bom, notes, etc.
From
the what’s
new pages of AIP 2017
“
Appearance property
The model Appearance value is added as a selectable
property. You can add the Appearance property to a bill of materials, or a
parts list.

While I can send the library and provided a detailed description on how to attach and use it, I feel it’s better if I just give you a part with all the appearances locally and you can copy it to your preferred library.
Don’t
you think so?
Later,
