Translucency from PDMS to Navisworks

 
  • depends on the navisworks color index...have a look at:
    C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Navisworks Simulate 2012\rvm
    When you modify "colors.txt" according the colors in PDMS you can make Navisworks Colors the same as PDMS Review Colors...Make a backup of the colors.txt and be carefull with spaces and tabs...

    Thankyou for your support, i got the result after i added the below lines in my export file.

    EXPORT ENCODING UTFE
    EXPORT AUTOCOLOUR ON
    --EXPORT REPR ON
    repre lev 6
    repre lev pipe 6
    repre lev nozz 6
    repre lev struc 6
    Repre lev CABLE 6
    repre tube ON
    repre holes ON
    repre cent OFF
    repre insu ON
    REPR obst ON TRANSLUCENCY 75
    repre MASS 6
    export holes ON
    EXPORT /PIPING COLOUR 243

    EXPORT FINISH

    if EXPORT REPR ON is removed than the colour appears correct but the translucency doesn't take effect

    REPR obst ON TRANSLUCENCY 75
    repre MASS 6
    export holes ON

  • Sorry my BAD. a haven't test the code, here try this one

    EXPORT AUTOCOLOUR RESET
    EXPORT AUTOCOLOUR ALL (zone) WITH (ATTRIB NAME EQ '/PIPING') COLOUR 243
    EXPORT AUTOCOLOUR ALL (zone) WITH (ATTRIB NAME EQ '/MECH') COLOUR 217

    or this  EXPORT AUTOCOLOUR RESET


    EXPORT AUTOCOLOUR ALL WITH (NAME OF ZONE EQ '/PIPING') COLOUR 243
    EXPORT AUTOCOLOUR ALL  WITH (NAME OF ZONE EQ '/MECH') COLOUR 217

    the error seems type mismatch of attribute name compare to DBREF. you can also try MATCHWILD syntax
