How to highlight only a system (ex: piping or structure or civil) in a 3D Model in Navisworks 2013?
I remember doing it in the Naviswork 2010 but than the menu changed and I can't find how to do it.
Something similar like the picture attached.
Many thanks.
Depends what you want. Highlighting is done by selecting objects; doing this by "system" can be done by creating a search set or selection set with provided object parameters (e.g. find all Plant3D objects with a line number of 2"-P-100-A). You can also use the Properties tab of the Selection Tree to mass-select objects with specific properties. Once objects are selected you can further improve visbility by clicking "Hide unselected" which will (unsuprisingly) hide everything except for what is selected. With good modeling practices its possible to construct and save many detailed search sets.
I thought he likes to edit the appearance of different components of the system,
not selecting them. Am I right? No offence meant

There´s a quick way to highlight objects... literally ^^
In the selection tree you could be adjusting the lighting settings for the asset
by browsing to the scene menue choosing data options to adjust the settings.
Don´t know if this helps... I think you´re looking for something like layer dis-
play properties to tell piping from structure (for example) easily by their looks.
In that case I would edit the whole geometry by assigning a meterial visible in
Autodesk rendering or presenter only by changing the selection level to layer or
geometry. You could be switching between the views easily then.
Kind regards
