Compare Colors settings determines how different conditions are displayed in the 2D diagram and 3D views following a Compare action. One of the colors is also used as the Integrator highlight color in the 3D view. Multiple sets of compare colors to be used with different configurations can be defined.

To add a new set of compare colors, right click on Compare Colors in the Integrator Project Configuration Explorer and select Insert.

Each Compare State can have a Compare Color. To change the color for that state, click on the color box to the right of the state and select a color from the browser.

The Compare States have the following meanings:

Accepted Difference

The element has one or more accepted differences, for example: it has been accepted as missing, or an attribute difference has been accepted, or it has had matching disabled.

Connection Error

The connections on the element in 3D are not consistent with the connections on the matched schematic element, for example: a branch is connected to the wrong nozzle.

Difference

The values of one or more attributes of the element or its members in 3D do not conform to the rules, or the sequence of elements in 3D does not conform to the schematic sequence.

Problem with Model

An error with the element that can invalidate the comparison will be noted in the Compare Report and/or the Integrator Messages dialog, for example: an inconsistent connection reference, or a missing GTYP value leading to a rules evaluation failure.

Highlight

This is not used for compare - it is the color used to highlight elements in the 3D view when selected in the Main Table or Compare Report.

Missing

The element is not matched with an element on the other side, for example: a component on the diagram is colored to show that there is no matching component in 3D, or an item is missing from the element that is colored - typically a tube in 3D is colored to show where a component is missing when compared against the matching segment on the diagram.

Not Compared

The element was not compared, although it was part of the elements selected for comparison, for example: a branch that models a trunnion support.

Note:
This does not mean all the elements that have not been selected for comparison.

OK

Element data has compared correctly according to the rules.
