Visible plane in Naviswork

DanielCTurcotte — Tue, 29 Mar 2022 15:35:59 GMT

Hello everyone,

I have a big wonderfull plane in my naviswork that i want to remove (see joint picture). But i can't seem to find a way of removing it.

I can't imagine that Autodesk didn't leave a way. So i'm asking you experienced folk if it does exists.

Sorry for my bad english

i'm not aware of a visible plane like that in Navisworks. Is this plane coming in from your model? If so, select it, right click and pick Hide (CTRL+H)

Thank you for your quick reply Hmunsel,

Thank you! i'm not crazy! I taught so too! In the old place where i worked i never had this. But since i work in my new place i kept seeing this. It drives me crazy. I open a new file with zero joint file and its still showing me this. I taught that it was a new update that created this ...

I kept searching in the option and i cant seem to find a way of removing it. Its frustrating me!!

What version of Navisworks are you using? I currently only have 2020 so it may be a newer feature.

Thats what's bothering me the most. I had naviswork 2018 at first. So my first guess was that my version was just not up to date. So after i got the 2022 version i taught that my problem would go away.... not. It was a complete reinstallement. So i don't know what to think.

I kept searching for an answer but i can't seem to see someone with the same problem... i... what.... sigh...

can you post the file so we can look at it? if the plane shows in a file with nothing in it, even a blank one would work.

Hello hmunsell,

Here's the file that you asked for.

Hope that it helps

When I open the NWD all I see is a blank blue screen. in the Selection Tree the NoName.nwd file has an inventor file (.ipt) loaded in it. i tried appending one of my IFC files to see if i can get the plane to show up but nothing happened. gotta say, i'm a bit stumped. i have my IT group installing 2022 on my PC now to give that a try.

I just append a blank inventor file so that navis could save my file. He wouldn't let me save it otherwise.
