property will receive this material from the palette when you check the rule Materials by property,
and click Apply Rules.
4. In the Rule description box, click on each of the underlined values to define your custom rule. The
customizable values available with the built in templates are:
• Name. Use the name of the category or property as it is displayed in the interface
(recommended). You can also choose Internal Name which is that accessed via the API (for
advanced use only).
• '<category>'. Choose from the available list, which category the property you wish to define is in.
Only the categories that are contained in the scene are available in the drop down.
• '<property>'. Choose from the available list, which property you wish to define. Again, only the
properties in the scene within the chosen category will be available.
5. Click OK to add the new ignore rule, or Cancel to return to NavisWorks.
Applying Presenter Rules
To apply Presenter rules:
1. Open the Presenter window, and click the Rules tab.
2. Select the check boxes for all rules you want to apply . You can apply as many rules as you want, as
all rules depend on material names.
3. The three check boxes on the right-hand side of the Presenter window, Rules tab, affect how these
rules are applied to the scene:
Select the Override current mappings check box if you want to override any existing mappings
from Presenter materials to items in the selection tree.
Select the Apply to current selection check box if you want to apply this rule only to the currently
selected items in the scene. Be aware that this is the default setting, so if your rule seems not to have
worked, check that you don't have this option checked with nothing selected in the scene.
Select the Apply to all instances check box if you want to apply this rule to all instances of any
multiply-instanced item affected by the rule.
4. Click the Apply button.
