Script Wont work in AVI movie file

Anonymous — Thu, 26 May 2011 02:10:08 GMT

Hi I am kind of new to NavisWorks, for one of my classes I am taking we get to design our own houses in Revit. So I thought it would be cool to do a walk-though. I have my house and site already exported into Navisworks and I have already make animation to all the doors so they can open and close. I have also make scripts. When I record and walk through my house and all the doors open just fine. But When I "Output" the animation1 and make it into a AVI file and run the video, all my doors doesn't open and close. It just walked right through them like the script is turned off.

Is there a solution to this?

Thanks!

Unfortunately that isn't possible as the animation export doesn't take into account the scripts, you would need to 'fake' it for the video. So you would simply have to move the door opening animation in the timeline to when the camera reaches that door.

Not ideal but I have passed this on to look at in a future release.

I've got the same problem. I can animate my doors running an animation in viewport, but "Export Animation" command creates a video where doors don't open.

Is there a solution for the problem.

Please help: I have to deliver my video today.

Thank you,

You need to use the Animator to do object animation in exported movies.
