Replace Scene Elements with Catalog Data

Replace Scene Elements with Catalog Data

You can replace individual parts or assembly elements in the scene with parts registered in the catalog.
If the part or assembly shape you want to use for replacement is not yet registered in the catalog, please register it first.

How to Operate

[1] In the Catalog Browser, right-click on the catalog part or assembly element you want to use as a replacement, then drag and drop it onto the target part or assembly element while holding the Ctrl key.


[2] For parts, select [Drop As Innovative Part] to replace the existing part.

For assemblies, the replacement will occur automatically without needing additional input.

[3] The placement position of the catalog part being dropped during replacement will be determined by its anchor position.
If you want to align the replacement part's position with the original, adjust the anchor location accordingly.


In case the anchor is located away from the part geometry.


The replacement part from the catalog will be positioned at the anchor, not at the block location.
