If a Presenter material has the same name as a Autodesk Navisworks
material in the model (for example, AutoCAD Color Index 7), then all
items with this original Autodesk Navisworks material name in the scene
receive this Presenter material from the palette when you select the rule
Autodesk Navisworks Materials by Name, and click Apply.
Selection Sets by Name enables you to apply a material to selection
sets. See
Create and Use Sets of Objects (page 360) for more information
on setting up selection sets.
If a material has the same name as a selection set in the model, then all
items in this selection set receive this material from the palette when you
select the rule Selection Sets by Name, and click Apply.
To apply predefined Presenter rules
1 Open the Presenter window, and click the Rules tab.
2 Select all the rules you want to apply. You can apply as many rules as
you want, as all rules depend on material names.
3 Use the check boxes on the right side of the Presenter window, Rules
tab, to control how the selected rules applied to the scene:
Select Override Any Current Exact Mappings if you want to override
any existing mappings from Presenter materials to items in the selection
tree.
Select Apply to Current Selection Only 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 dont have this option checked with nothing selected in the
scene.
Select Apply to All Instances if you want to apply this rule to all
instances of any multiply-instanced item affected by the rule.
4 Click Apply.
