How do I make NW play well with Autocad MEP?

[grumpygrizzly]

OK, so I've got my property sets all the way I like them in Autocad MEP.  Took a lot of hair pulling but, it looks well and gives us the info we need.

So I find the regedit hiddenprops and change that to '1' and now my cable tray or conduit shows up as it's own tab in NW.  Only, everything I've put into the Property Sets in Autocad MEP gets garbled in NW Properties.  Below are two images to show what's going on.

Is there somewhere in NW where I can go in and put the formulas to work so I get Top of Conduit or TOC: like I have in Autocad MEP?

If you upload a file with the cable tray & conduit property sets, I can help you take a look.

Hey Shawn,

Thanks for the reply.  I'm attaching a basic drawing I use (ok, ok, it's almost a template) that has the Conduit and Cable Tray Property Sets ready to go in the Manage Properties Tab.

Actually, I don't have the elbows set on either one yet but, if you take a look at the conduit in the Extended Data Tab in Properties, you'll see the type of info I'm looking for in NavisWorks.

It seems that NavisWorks just scrambles things up when you have the ConduitObject tab in the Properties over there.

Hey Shawn, just checking in to see if you had any luck with those files and making NW play well with others?
