+9Hi,
I am converting a Civil 3D DWG file to GDB. However, once I read the DWG file, the colors appear to be changed to black and white. I attempted to use DWGStyler, but the colors are still not reverting to their original state. I've checked the Reader Parameters to ensure that "Resolve Entity Color" is selected. Could someone please assist me?
1 more thing that I found is that, once I use autocad_color or fme_color in DWGStyler the values disappear.
Thanks in advance

FME’s colors do not apply to features with Surface or Solid geometry. For these, you must set appearances on the feature with an AppearanceSetter.
The Civil 3D reader seems to add the appropriate appearances to the Structure 3D features, but not the Pipe or Pressure Pipe 3D features. You can add these appearances using the following process:

I set the AttributeExposer, AppearanceStyler but once I wanna use AppearanceSetter and set the color to fme_color, it looks like the only option I have for that is User Parameter

+19You don’t have to set the color in the AppearanceSetter. The appearance created by the AppearanceStyler will supply that for you. Please leave the color settings in the AppearanceSetter untouched.

+19Please try turning off Feature Caching, from the Workbench top menu Run option, then try running the workspace again.
