How do you update the database from navisworks?

[#4]

This is not possible, you would need to have them running alongside each other and changes made in the Database would be updated in Navisworks when the model is refreshed.

Thanks for that.

 What i am trying to do is to create a link between navisworks and an MS database. So that i can coordinate in both ways (i.e be able to write to the database from navisworks and be able to read from the database from navisworks. How about if i create a plugin and create a textbox to write to the database.

Anyway, i tried that but still could not open the database. Any ideas on how to do this??????
