Description

Resets the colour, line weight, line type and opacity of selected elements to CATIA wireframe defaults in a single batch operation. Useful for cleaning up elements that have inherited messy or inconsistent properties, for example after importing geometry.

Defaults applied:

Property	Reset Value
Colour	White (255, 255, 255)
Line weight	Index 1 (0.13 mm)
Line type	Index 1 (Solid)
Opacity	255 (100% — fully opaque)

Requirements

Requirement	Value
Python	>= 3.10
pycatia	>= 0.8.3
Open document	Part, Product, or Process

---

Usage

1. Open a Part, Product, or Process document
2. Run the script
3. A CATIA selection prompt appears — select all elements to reset, then click OK
4. All selected elements are reset to defaults in one operation

---

Notes

• All elements are added to the selection at once and updated in a single batch — no per-element loop
• If a boundary reference (Selection_) is selected instead of the hybrid shape directly, the script resets the parent object
