If you liked this post, you may find these Design & Motion post’s helpful: So become a better Inventor user and contribute to the direction of your most important design tool by signing up to the Autodesk beta program at. It’s thanks to Chris Mitchell, that myself and the others who read the tip in that forum, have learnt about this approach to batch applying appearances.
Thanks to Shaan Hurley, in association with Design & Motion, I’m pleased to have the opportunity to share a video I’ve created showing you how to window select faces to apply appearance overrides en masse.Īs a final note, I wouldn’t have even known about this tip if I wasn’t participating actively in the Inventor beta program. This has frustrated a lot of users and I’ve seen a number of users asking for the Inventor development team to add the ability to do so… however, you CAN window select faces already, it’s just not immediately obvious. BUT, users missed the ability to window select faces and edges to assign color overrides. With Inventor 2014 came a large number of refinements, they were very welcome indeed and resulted in a reasonably we refined tool. I personally loved the direction, but disliked the reliability and it was just clunky. At first it struggled, there were lots of bugs and it was a controversial change with many users. With that release came a more unified materials and appearance experience with other products in the Autodesk stable.
