Switchback with A360 functionality

Anonymous — Fri, 12 Oct 2018 17:03:18 GMT

(Sorry for posting under API, the area "Forum" wouldn't let me post.)

If your model is on A360 Switchback can't communicate to it for the functionality to work. Is there any plan to update Navisworks to allow the switchback functionality to work again? I do not want to go thru a process of detaching a model to create my .NWC, I want to dump partial floor plans into an existing coordination .NWD and have the functionality of switchback like it would work on a local project.

The biggest 'point' of Revit is one, centralized model that's always the 'most current'. As soon as copies are made, you loose this integrity in any office environment. Not to mention time, some of these projects will take upwards of 20 minutes to open, it's not very feasible to export, close and reopen just to create an updated .NWC for clash detection.

At the moment Switchback does not work within a cloud-based workflow. I would highly recommend making a post within the Ideas Forum linked below. The more likes and comments this gets the more likely the development team is to prioritize this.

I just wanted to take a moment to check in and see if you needed any further help with this. Please let me know if you have any more questions or issues.

Based on the current state of Revit and Navisworks the function doesn't work anymore, so if you can bring it back, yes I could use the help!
