Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Bulk Copying User Data Based on Autodesk® AutoCAD® Class:

Assign properties (like engineering discipline) to multiple model elements in bulk by leveraging their AutoCAD class.

Steps:

  1. Create a user data classification property category:
    1. One for piping
    2. One for equipment
    3. One for structural items
  2. Assign a relevant discipline property to each of the above categories.
  3. Select items using their AutoCAD class.
  4. Use the copy classification properties tool to apply the discipline property to all selected items.

Example: Select all piping items and assign them to the "Piping" discipline.

Exporting Part of a Navisworks Model:

You can export a portion of a Navisworks model into a separate file. This is useful for breaking down large models into smaller, more manageable parts—ideal for mobile device usage.

Steps:

  1. Select the model items you want to export.
  2. Export the selected items using the plugin's export functionality.
  3. The resulting model will:
    1. Retain the original item properties.
    2. Maintain the selection tree, but only for the exported items.
