Setting preference for which surface gets displayed when surfaces intersect
Setting preference for which surface gets displayed when surfaces intersect
(OP)
Using NX 9.
When I do boolean operations to add components like windows onto a body for visualisation purposes, there seems to be conflicts in which of the components actually gets displayed, which results in 'ugly' surfaces, as seen in the attached image.
Is there a way to set which component gets displayed when two surfaces are exactly overlaid? Something like the layers capability in a photo editing program.
I know NX uses layers, but I haven;t used it before and don't think it is the right workflow for this situation.
Thanks in advance.

You can use COLOR FILTERING for enabling selections for some particular colors only while leaving the rest.

Thank you very much.
Firstly, I am not really managing to understand how to implement the filters, it seems like even though I select different colours, they are taking no effect in the assembly.
Secondly, I am not sure it is the correct approach because I actually want both colours (in my attached image) to display, I just want the one to show above the other where they overlap, if that makes sense?
