How to change model (or wireframe) color with assembly open 1

[NorthwesternDesign]

In NX 7.5, I have an assembly open with one of the components my work part. In NX 5, the rest of the components would be shown as gray. Now in NX 7.5, they are blue and purple. Might be something that I get used to, but it would be nice to change them back to gray.

If that's really what you want, go to...

Preferences -> Visualization -> Color

...expand the 'De-emphasis' subsection in the 'Part Settings' section, set your desired de-emphasis color (probably some sort of gray), slide the 'Blend Percentage' slider all the way to 100 and hit OK.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Thank you! It was getting tough to see things for me when everything was blue.
