How to create an user defined attributer with Navisworks API ?

[yongjiuliu]

Dear guy ,

Is it possible to additional user define attributer to Navisworks elements?

Thanks in advance!

yes, you can do this by COM API. Please refer to the SDK sample:

<NW 2012>\api\COM\examples\AUTO_06

<Nw 2013>\api\COM\examples\Auto\AutoUserPropsExample

Hi Xiao dong,

Thanks for your help!  I have other issue, Can the .Net API callback COM API ? If it is possible, how to do it?

I have some models export from PDMS, I would like to export some UDA(user defined attributes) to Navisworks and review

these. I guess I can create a form to show these UDA on Navisworks.

By the way, could you give your email address to me?

Thanks for your support again! 

Regards!

Hi Yongjiu,

I have directed the developers who have written to me directly to this forum, because many peers could offer a hand on the platform. Everybody could help each other. Thank you for your understanding.

As to using COM in pure .NET, please take a look at :

SDK >> NET API.chm >> Developer Guide >> Using the Navisworks COM API with the .NET API
