Since we use AECOsimSS5 (08.11.09.747), we have an issue with Building View Attributes.
When I activate BV Attributes (I do not change the Display Style!) the display/appearance of Mechanical Components changes.
The Components look like in a Visible Edges Render Mode.
It changes only Mechanical Components. Ohter elements ( Architectural, Structural, other Solids) do not change it's diplay/appearance.
Building View OFF Building View ON

Does anybody have an idea what is wrong?
Thanks.

With a promoted Dynamic View as in the second image, the view window display is now based on Family + Part assignments, the designated Cut Plane and Forward View settings, as well as Drawing Rule overrides. So those are the aspects you need to review instead of the active Display Style.
For example, if you had a single line rule applied to the SV you would see single line resymbolization for components affected by that rule as in the attached.
Steve,
There are no Drawing Rules Activated.
In Family+Part the toggles for Cut Plane and Forward View are OFF and I do not have an active Clip Volume in this View.
And I tested the same file with the same Dataset settings in AECOsim SS4. The Mechanical Components didn't change its display like in SS5.
Just to clarify my issue:
Toggle Building View ON do not change the duct itself,
BUT it changes the INSULATION of the duct.
The insulation is created as a part of the duct.
When I toggle BV OFF:
When I toggle BV ON the Color and Transparency is always wrong, no matter which Display Style I use:
New Tests with AECOSIM SS6 08.11.09.829 Out-of-the-Box
1. I used a part definition of Dataset_NM without any changes
Duct insulation has the color of it's part definition. OK
2. I only renamed the original part definition (same which I used before) without any further changes
Duct insulation changes to WRONG color. Now it has the color of the duct itself but this is wrong!
To cause this issue it's enough that I rename an existing part definition.
My machine is running with German WIN7. Could this issue be caused by German WIN7?
Does anybody else have this issue?

Ah Steve yes you are right. I have forgotten change the duct's insulation property to the renamed Part. Then it works right.
But nevertheless I have always the same problem. As soon as I create an own Part Definition the duct's insulation changes to the
color of the duct Part Definition and not to the insulation Part Definition, when BV is on.

Finally after much research, and responding back and fourth, I was able to replicate the issue I believe you are speaking about. Please see the two screen captures, one with the ducts shown correctly, with the BV dialog turned OFF, and the second screen capture with the BV Dialog turned ON. And the ducts and the insulation are the SAME color.
