The Navisworks Coordination Issues Add-In with Navisworks 2024 further extends connection to the Autodesk Construction Cloud, now providing cloud managed Navisworks data enabling multi-user participation on desktop. Save and edit Model Coordination aggregated Views directly from Navisworks. Automatic NWF management facilitates multi-Navisworks user workflows and includes Navisworks-data merging.
The Model Coordination app with the Autodesk construction Cloud enables creation of coordination spaces with the auto-clash process disabled, benefiting Navisworks users utilizing Clash Detective. These spaces provide direct access to latest model versions published to Autodesk Docs.
While using find items in Navisworks to define search sets, two 'AND' conditions do not work. Only one condition can be satisfied. Critically, I have used the same search sets on the same NWF with the same NWCs linked from the local drive - the conditions work fine.There looks a bug or some change in metadata meaning stacked 'AND' conditions do not work when files are linked through model coordination? Is there a solution to avoid to avoid making search set redundant and thereby revising the whole clash process via navisworks- otherwise we will not be able to uwe the add-in
Constant issue even before the latest update. The ACC issues are not showing. Each time it take 15mins to reload navis (due to over 370 models on this project), this is now affecting the modelling production and clash checking.
1 - Currently, you must select the clashes, then right-click to create issues from clashes. It would be great to create batch issues across multiple clash tests, e.g. from all new, or all active, etc. If so, the BIM Coordinator could go quickly through the clashes to filter out the false positive, then, at the end of the process, create all the clashes from the new or active ones. It would be great to have a panel where assigning an issue template for each clash test. That would incredibly speed up the process, as common workflows define the clash tests so that all the clashes in that specific clash test are assigned to the first model.
2. It is critical to create a clash-issues synch feature, so all the clashes geometrically resolved can be automatically marked as closed (or assigned a parameter, should the BIM Coordinator want absolute control on closing them). Manually closing issues is a very tedious process, and should be left for "custom" issues created by project memebers, not by Navisworks.
100% behind your comment. There is minimum integration with issues and clashes- which is what model coordination is for...how was this missed? And Issue pins XYZ or basic clash report exports are lacking in model coordination. If it is supposed to be Navis replacement for those who do not have the software, at least provide the basic clash features and ability to save tests and export results properly. Max The limit of 100 issues published from clashes is relatively low, and should be increased up to 500 minimum.
The plug in Locks up all sessions of Navis Manage now. In other words if one session is locked up (refreshing files or appending files, even Upating clash test), all open sessions will lock up until refresh or append is completed. Please help.
It would have been nice to have a "next issue" button when you have an issue open so that you don't have to scroll down the list to find the next issue. It would also have been good to have an option to move the pushpins if they are in the wrong position.
-there is an issue where clash viewpoint locations are lost and change. It might have to do with model locations moving. Another thing that doens't happen in BIMTrack. Please associate the viewpoint with an XYZ location NOT a model location which causes problems.
-Also you cannot update the location of the viewpoint after creating the issue. this has huge impacts because the point of using issues is that you have a history showing issue creation date. we cannot afford to have to re-create an issue just because we cannot update a viewpoint location. don't tell me to update it in the web interface because that doesn't work either. Too time consuming to go back and fourth and it doesn't actually update issue viewpoint.
-This plugin needs a separate window for viewing images. When you view images in it it expands the interface large and then we have to keep messing with the palette size every time we look at the images attached. This issue is already solved in BIMTrack
-This plugin also needs a way to send clashes to issues and bring them back from issues back to the clash detective, BIMTrack has a lot of this figured out, but if Autodesk is going to compete with BIMTRack, then you should find a better way to do this. You are a 1.27 billion corporation.
This Version 2.9 is not showing in the Navisworks model all the BIM360 issues created on the cloud platform. Previous version 2.6 allows the visibility of all the issues created on the cloud platform and the Navisworks model.
How can I get an older versions of the add-in? I need that 2.6 version.
-Update: After Installing & trying the new release, the issue was fixed.
Thanks
Are you working at all towards being able to integrate a BIM360 hosted point cloud? Not having a web based point cloud incorporated makes it difficult for several companies working together on a project to collaborate.
We lose our colors when appending files through Coordination. It also doesn't refresh when we re-export to NWC from Revit. We have to close out of the Navis file and re-open it, whereas the default Navisworks automatically refreshes models once exported.
The way issues are tied to a specific element in a specific model means that with new versions of the model sometimes the issue disappears. I understand the intent is to tie an issue to a specific model element, but drafters often delete and remodel entire sections of scope, which changes the GUIDs and disociates the issue from that point in 3D space. This is very frustrating because you then have to find the issue list online and manually locate the issue based on a screenshot or description.
Hello Colin, while the issues are referenced to specific objects in the view, deleting that object would not cause the issue to disappear. The issues are tied to specific 'views' within the model however, and if that has been removed or changed names then the related issues may only appear in the project issues list. If you are having problems, please open a support case so we can determine the root cause.
