Inventor 2017 -iLogic- How to 'Deep Clear' Appearance Overrides

If you’re working with received assembly models, or taking copies of existing assemblies in Inventor, you may need to ‘deep purge’ the assembly to clean out all of the appearance overrides it contains. 

This is actually not a single click operation, as each sub-part can have its own internal colour overrides. This video looks at several potential methods to ‘reset’ all appearances, and ends with an all-purpose iLogic solution for the problem – enabling you to make an assembly a blank canvas in a single operation.
