Navisworks Item Appearance Overrides

dn7QYDD — Mon, 04 May 2020 10:45:37 GMT

When I apply color, or transparency overrides to model items, they do not save in my viewpoints. In the past, I have been able to change an objects color or transparency and it would reflect in my other viewpoints. Now, I change an objects color or transparency and navigate to other VPs and I not only lose those overrides in the other VPs but I also lose it in the original VP. I have tried all combinations of the Viewpoint Defaults in the options and nothing fixes the issue. I am working in Navisworks Manage 2021 but the problem exists when I use Navis Manage 2019 as well.

Right click on one of your saved viewpoints, click edit.

Make sure that in the bottom left corner of dialogue that pops up, that the boxes under "Saved Attributes" are checked.

Hi @dn7QYDD ,

It seems that some of the existing viewpoints have the settings like this. The "Override Appearance" are checked in the Saved Attributes panel.

If you want to keep the colours on your viewpoint, right-click the saved viewpoints > Edit. Then make sure that the "Override Appearance" is checked. You may also check "Hide/Required" if you want to keep the objects hidden on your saved viewpoint.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Dar
