Get started to navisworks API

Hi,

 

I work with Navisworks Manage 2012. I would like to add a custom tab to the Selection tree windows. I know it's possible with the API but this is the first time I would need the API and I don't know how to get started. I have done programmation before. My problem is that I don't know where to put my code and how do I link it with Navisworks? Is there a kind of compiler inside Navisworks that I need to install?

 

Thanks

JF

This functionality is part of the COM API. See the user guide "COM Interface.pdf" installed in Api/Com/Documentation under the Navisworks installation folder. You will need Microsoft Visual studio in order to compile your code.

 

Custom selection trees are implemented using the InwOpSelectionTreePlugin and InwOpSelectionTreeInterface.
