• NavisWorks materials by name rule enables you to apply a material to named NavisWorks
materials. NavisWorks materials are not the same as NavisWorks Presenter materials - NavisWorks
materials merely refers to the color and transparency of the item as it comes through from the original
CAD file, whereas Presenter materials are those materials applied using the Presenter window, or are
more complex materials such as bitmaps converted from the original CAD file.
If a Presenter material has the same name as a NavisWorks material in the model (for example,
"AutoCAD Color Index 7"), then all items with this original NavisWorks material name in the scene
receive this Presenter material from the palette when you check the rule NavisWorks materials by
name, and click Apply Rules.
• Selection Sets by name rule enables you to apply a material to selection sets. See “ Selection and
Search Sets ” for more information on setting up selection sets.
