Hi all I am working with Designer 3, just this morning I am unable to change the Stain/Finish under Board Settings. Used program last week all was fine, when I opened today all I get is a light brown background and program ignores any choice I try to make in the Stain/Finish tab of Board Settings. Looked through forum found information on adding colors but nothing on color choice not showing. I reloaded version that I had and I have upgraded to the latest version of Designer 3 which has not worked. Any assistance would be appreciated, It does not seem to impact anything else as I am able to continue other functions as usual. Thanks

Hi Richard, so you don't have the grid to the right showing the different color woods that are available normally, you just see the light wood?

Richard,

Read your post again.. sorry!

Whenever I make a two tone board, I always start with the core thickness. It does't seem to respond predictably if I start with the skin.

Hi DianMayfield
It does not seem to matter which I set first. All the choices are there, even one I added to day just to see if it would work. I have tried setting both to the same, one first then the other first but when I save nothing changes.

Hi Richard,

I am using ver 3.1

When you open this MPC, do the colors work?

Thanks for the test. - But no it removes the grain leaving only a light brown background

Maybe you have the texture set to none? view - texture - wood

Thanks bergerud - that was it. And here I was looking for a complicated reason, I can not figure how I managed to toggle that but Thanks again and enjoy the rest of the weekend.
