Hi @T52K-BIB ,

Please note that the Navisworks API rarely supports functionality that is not already available in the user interface. As a result, if a feature is not supported in the UI, it is unlikely to be supported by the API.

It is always beneficial to research and identify the best manual approach to solving a problem before attempting to address it programmatically.

Have you consulted the Navisworks Product Support team?

Once you determine the optimal manual approach via UI, please let me know—I will assist you in implementing the same via the API.

Additionally, please share the response you receive from the Navisworks Product Support team, even if the answer is "no." This will help us determine the most appropriate way to proceed.

Thank you, @naveen.kumar.t, for the response

The snippet below provides context for my query. I assumed the plugin is used externally to export the FBX, allowing property data to be added to the geometry:

PluginRecord FBXPluginRecord = Autodesk.Navisworks.Api.Application.Plugins.FindPlugin("NativeExportPluginAdaptor_LcFbxExporterPlugin_Export.Navisworks");
