You can select several options to change the standard behavior.
By default, these options are not selected.
Merge all bodies of each part in one body
The Merge all bodies of each part in one body option allows you:
- for solids:
- to merge in one body the solids found in all the bodies of each CATPart.
- for surfacic elements:
- to merge ordered geometrical sets in one hybrid body, if you have enabled hybrid design,
- to merge geometrical sets in one body, if you have not enabled hybrid design.
Keep colors and attributes on subelements
This option is available in Data Product Filtering
,
not in Assembly Design:
This option overrides the standard behavior for colors and attributes and
keeps the visual aspect of the original data:
- if a color and attributes have been applied to the instance, they are kept in the resulting CATPart. There is an exception when the opacity of an instance is modified: the opacity value is applied to the resulting CATPart but the color and attributes on subelements are not kept.
- if the instance has no color and/or no attributes, the behavior is that of Keep colors and attributes on subelements in the Part to Part chapter.
More information
- Filtering applies only to the contents of Bodies, Geometrical Sets or Ordered Geometrical Sets.
- Only visible geometries are transferred. In some cases, no empty
bodies are created in the resulting CATPart, with the following exception:
- Since a CATPart is always created with a PartBody, you will always find an empty one in the result CATPart.
- Non-empty PartBodies or Bodies found in the original Product are transferred into Bodies.
- The options Checking Operation When Renaming: Under the same tree node and In the main object in Tools > Options > Infrastructure > Part Infrastructure > Display are inefficient in Product Data Filtering. Therefore be aware that you can find several elements with the same name under one node.
- Elements other than the geometry, the axis system or the colors and attributes on subelements are never transferred.
- V4 data are processed according to the standard V4 Integration.
- However changes of the Show/NoShow status or of the colors and graphic attributes made since their import in V5 are not taken into account, e.g. if you have sent a V4 element to the NoShow in V5, it will be transferred since it is its V4 status that is taken into account. To make those changes effective, you need to make those changes in a V4 session, save the data in V4 and re-import them to V5.
- For V4 models:
- all wireframe features are created in a single specific Geometrical Set named Wireframe.
- some data may be transferred into the PartBody of the result CATPart.
