We are using Navisworks Simulate 2011 to view our model. Currently the steel member size does not show up in the properties. The steel modeling software is Bentley Structural V8 which is Triforma. The Triforma tab in Navisworks olny gives us the Member ID, Family, and Part.
Is there any way to edit the properties to show the steel member size? Or do I have to do somethin different with the Bentley Structural file.
When you select a steel member, look in the SelectionTree: is it at the top level of the object or at a child level? You may be seeing the properties of the Solid that makes up the steel member. With Revit objects, generally, setting "Set Resolution to Top Object" seems to work the best. You can globally set the value in the Options/Interface/Selection" by picking Resolution=First Object.
Thank you for the reply. When I select on an element it is at the child level.
I also tried setting the Resolution to first object, but the member size still did not show up in the properties.
The Triforma tab in the Properties window has the Bentley Structural Member ID, Family, and Part. I was hoping there was a way to edit what information you can pull from the Bentley Structural file, but I can not find anything on what information it pulls from the model file.
Another place to check: Options/File Readers/DGN and insure the Convert Triforma Data is checked. That is about it that I can think of, so hope that helps. I guess the other thing to address would be, are you reading the DGN directly or are you receiving a NWC as an export from Triforma? If you are receiving just the NWC, it may be the way it is being exported.
No I didn't get any other answers on it. We are currently looking into getting Navisworks 2013. Maybe they have it fixed in that version. But as of now, no I do not have a fix for it.
