    Resetting/removing all display properties in an assembly

    So, it seems that I have found a solution. If I select a body and make sure that the 'Apply to all faces of Selected Body' under the display properties tab is checked, the changes to take affect! ------------------------------------------ Here's looking at you, looking at me, looking at you

    Resetting/removing all display properties in an assembly

    Thank you all. This does however not seem to resolve my problem. When I now want to assign different colours to objects, the changes seem to have no effect. I have tried this both in the assembly by selecting solid bodies and trying to change their colours and also by making particular...

    Resetting/removing all display properties in an assembly

    I have an assembly where various parts have been assigned various different display colours. Is it possible to remove all these properties in the entire assembly in one go? Regards ------------------------------------------ Here's looking at you, looking at me, looking at you

    Setting preference for which surface gets displayed when surfaces intersect

    Hi Kapil, 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...

    Setting preference for which surface gets displayed when surfaces intersect

    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...

    Fillet in skecth does not snap to any feature

    Hi John, Thank you very much, that is handy. I however want to have even more control of where the 'control point' of the fillet is placed (not the fillet radius). With this I mean that if you insert a fillet by hovering the mouse near the vertex inside the two edges and both edges get...

    Fillet in skecth does not snap to any feature

    When I am in sketch mode and insert a fillet, the cursor does not snap to any curve or point in the sketch. This is quite frustrating as I don't necessary want to specify a radius for the fillet. Is there a obvious reason for this to be do and is there a way around it? Thanks in advance...

    Boolean opperations on surfaces

    Hi Anthony, Yes, thank you, I see it is quite simple. I need the bodies to be surfaces. Is it possible to extract the surfaces of the bodies after the boolean operations? I'm sure it is, I will give it a go. Michael ------------------------------------------ Here's looking at you, looking at...

    Boolean opperations on surfaces

    Attached is a simple model of two intersecting sheet bodies. I want to know whether it is possible to eliminate all surfaces located in the intersecting volumes between the two sheet bodies and basically be left with only that which you can see from the outside of the surfaces? I have tried a...

    Automatic parameter adjustment to match some criteria

    Thank you Mr Baker, that is a very cool demonstration of the functionality. I managed to solve my problem using that approach as well. ------------------------------------------ Here's looking at you, looking at me, looking at you

    Automatic parameter adjustment to match some criteria

    Is the spreadsheet function you are talking about the one you access through 'Expressions'? Because I think a normal excel spreadsheet can only update an excel function through goal seek, or will it be able to go back and forth between NX and excel to reevaluate the volume after every iteration...
