How to change the display style of only one part?

north37 — Fri, 12 Nov 2021 21:29:33 GMT

I want to change the display style of only one part to emphasize the contour line of the part.

However, when I change the display style, the display style of the entire assembly changes.

Is there any way to change the display style or emphasize the counter line of only one part?

No, you would have to change the appearance of it not the view style.

I'm assuming you mean these parts are in an assembly and you want one to look different?

Thank you for your reply. You're right.

Thank you for your reply.

I became able to emphasize counter lines thanks for your solution.

I have a new question.

Is there any way to hide hidden edges?

My screen is displayed in Japanese, sorry.

You can always RIGHT click on the part in the browser and select Properties.

There you can adjust a parts appearance.

Hi! I don't think this can be done in Modeling environment. In Drawing, you can tweak it by changing the line weight of certain edges but not in the Modeling environment.

Many thanks!

I would like to see your assembly model to be sure, but I think you may be looking for the option below. However, this will change all levels of your assembly:

If not that, then maybe try whatever Document Options that could have the impact you desire... I am not sure if #1, 2, or 3 could help, and 4 is a long shot (see below). I could not validate any of these as working for your scenario yet by using my samples. Test one at a time and see the differences, or share your 3D models so we can all attempt it as well. Good luck!
