Navisworks - Reading Pipe elevation

[Arun_Kumar_K]

I was expecting in 2014 release, there will be way for direct reading the elevation of pipe in Navisworks. But not, highly disappointment.

If you open the Measure Tools Palette, it shows you the XYZ of the item you select when measuring.

I had already communicated this, the picking point will be edges, will not be centre. You please see how the elevation of pipe modelled in revit shows in Navisworks. In the property option, the x, y, z should get displayed. Measuring tool is not a correct solution. Please take up with your development team.

If you change to wireframe you can pick centre, and it's probably best to post in the navisworks forum, as it's its own product

Not possible in 2d wireframe too. Navisworks will display all the autocad properties in a object. Autocad Plant3d not carrying the information of start x,y,z and end x,y,z in any pipeline. Unless it shows in Plant3d, it won't come in Navisworks. That is the reason I am requesting from your end to take up with Plant3d development team.

I gone through the properties of pipes, i find property mentioned COP, BOP are available in Plant3d, then how come it is not displaying in Navisworks?, already (7months back) I posted a related topic in Navisworks but no reply. Please take from Plant3d side to navisworks for to show the cop and bop of pipe.
