Color Override for Nested References Does Not Work

Hi, Bentley Communities

I am using MicroStation V8i Version 08.11.09.832.

We have plan sheet files that reference a file that contains several nested references such as existing utilities.

We want to gray most elements except for certain levels in one nested reference.

We used overrides in Level Manager and changed the colors to gray, but it does not work. I cannot even take off overrides. It's odd.

We made sure that Level Overrides are on in Reference Presentation for that particular reference, which has live nesting.

I can gray them out if I use Reference Setting, Adjust Colors, Fix Color, make Saturation to zero, and change Value.  But, we cannot use this method since we want to keep colors on screen and also there are several levels in one nested file, which we need to keep black color in printing.

What we have been doing has worked for other projects so we are wondering why it's not working this time...

Thank you for your advice in advance.

  • Jose,

    You've provided me an answer!

    I was trying to print with plot overrides turn off on plot properties. 

    Now I don't know why it worked for other reference files... 

    For a few reference files, specifying the color in the Printer Setup worked and for one particular reference, it was because Plot Overrides was turned off.

    If anyone could explain why this happened, I'd appreciate it. 

    In any case, thank you so much for helping me!!
