PDMS to Navisworks - translucent insulation

  • [QUOTE=Model-Man;86863]Hi there, my first day and first post in this forum, so please forgive if i´ve not found a thread which answers my question.

    I´m creating RVM files (for use with NavisWorks Simulate 2014) out of PDMS 12.1.SP2.25[8251]   (( I know that more actual Service packs do exist, but our IT works slow  :numbness: ))

    I have managed now to get a translucent representation of all insulation in my RVM file: I set the representation for INSULATION and OBSTRUCTION to 99 percent translucency


    My "problems":

    When i only set INSULATION to 99% translucency, all TUBI elements stay SOLID in the RVM file ...

    The INSU and OBST volumes are colored black - not according to the AUTOCOLOUR RULES - and they are translucent - that´s why I use 99%, so it´s possible to see (imagine) the Colors of e.g. piping below the insulation.
    I´d prefer to get the (translucent) insulation (and obstruction) in "AUTOCOLOUR" also.

    I tried the "EXPORT AUTOCOLOUR DISPLAYEXPORT ON" command, but it does not Change the representation of the RVM file to my wished result.

    Can anybody give me a useful hint?

    P.S. I do all exporting with PML, I don´t use ">Utilities >Export..."

    Your Problems and possible solutions as follows

    Sol: Is it the same case when you change percentage of translucency to ant other val such as 50% if so, please check if you have set insulation spec to all of your components and branch level.

    [/COLOR]Sol: Have you set autocolour rule for Insulation and obstruction vol? If not please set it and see if you get desired output.
