The Presenter Rules Example
To follow this procedure, open the file called gatehouse_pub.nwd located under the Examples\Gatehouse folder
in the Autodesk Navisworks installation directory.
Let's assume, you want to apply window glass material to all gatehouse items with material property of AutoCAD
Color Index 9, and red brick material to all gatehouse items with material property of AutoCAD Color Index 32.
The following procedure describes the necessary steps to achieve this, using the Presenter rules.
To apply materials with the custom Presenter rules
1 Open the Presenter window, and click the Rules tab.
2 Create a rule called 'Color Index 9', based on the materials by property template:
a From the Rules tab of the Presenter window, click the New button.
b Enter a name for the rule, Color Index 9.
c Choose the Materials by property template.
d Click on '<category>' and choose Material from the drop-down list.
e Click on '<property>' and choose Name from the drop-down list.
f Click OK to save the custom rule.
3 Create another rule called Color Index 32 using the same settings as before.
4 Set up the necessary materials:
a From the Recommended, Glass archive on the Materials tab, drag the Window Glass material into the
palette (right-hand pane).
b Select the Window Glass material and press F2 and rename it to AutoCAD Color Index 9. Press Enter
to save the new name.
c From the Recommended, Bricks archive on the Materials tab, drag the Red Brick material into the
palette, and rename it to AutoCAD Color Index 32.
