NX 7.5 - Body inherits color of tool - how to turn it off

[xz65]

Hi Everyone,

Example:
While I trim solid with some face, the faces of solid, where it was trimmed, get color of face. And the solid has 2 colors.
How to turn it off, so that the color of solid stays as it was before triming.
I have an impresion, that it was somewhere to change, but I cannot find it.

Change the Customer DEfaults.
1. file/utilities/customer defaults
2. click on Modeling
3. click on General
4. then click on the 'Display Properties Source' tab
5. under Boolean Faces, select Target Body.
With this setting, the target body will give the color, after boolean operation (unite, subtract, trim, etc.) is performed.

And there is also the same setting in Preferences menu:
1. Preferences menu/Modeling
2. under 'Boolean Face Properties From' select 'Target Body' option.

ANY TIME that you make ANY change in Customer Defaults, you need to restart NX for those changes to go into effect. There should have been a info message to that effect when you hit the OK button, unless you had indicate that you did not want to see that message again, as seen below:
