  • [QUOTE=amkshmtl;41246]Option 1 is impractical for us. The insulation on the pipe, already modeled, is being added by several designers, all day. Revew models are required 3 or 4 times a day. How can we keep up with which pipes are insulated, which each subsequent review?

    Option 1 may be a great help. As Neild said export in two stage.
    1. First is export what all items that have insulation
        var !insu collect all bran with ispec ne nulref
    or
        add all bran with ispec ne nulref
     and then export what you've collected or what is in your drawlist. Insulation should be turn on when exporting.
    2. Second is export all model with insulation off or export all model except for items with insulation.

    and then append the two models.
    in navis you can set transluceny with the one you've exported that insulation is set.

    I thinkk that is what you are looking for.
