Hi all,
I'm trying to combine individual NWD files into one and retain the 4D data.
I understand that Navisworks only copies the data over if the IDs are identical (I'm using .csv files) but what happens if I add a new file with new IDs?
I was thinking I could create a master file with all the individual .csv files already in so that when I eventually update an NWD file, it gets updated in the master 4D file with the updated Timeliner information. Would that work?
Currently I'm having to relink everything in the master 4D file... pretty tiresome.
Thanks,
I do not have much Timeliner experience, but what happens if you create a new NWF file and then append the 4 NWD files ?
In my experience, Viewpoints, animations and Selection Sets from the individual NWD's then become available in the NWF, so TimeLiner may also be available.
Yes I thought as much! The only issue when you merge NWDs is that the timeliner data does not!
At least there are some constraints (Timeliner merge) which makes it difficult to keep a master NWF up to date.
I was hoping for a solution that would trick Navisworks in to thinking that Primary Links for the updated files always get added regardless of what's in the master NWF...
Thanks though
