How to export transform position from Navisworks?

Anonymous — Sun, 20 Oct 2019 11:07:15 GMT

Exporting geometry transform position using Selection Inspector doesn't seem to be possible. Or I am missing something?

Is there another way using standard tools?

Alternatively, is it possible in a VBscript?

The reason for the question is that we have two models from different sources that need to be coordinated:

1. Concrete with embedded anchor plates.

2. Reinforcement for concrete.

In Navisworks we can move anchor plates to coordinate with reinforcement, but we need an method of exporting the new position so that it is can applied to original model.

Hi, I have a similar problem trying to get coordinates from specific items after transformation and I find no solution other than picking the points manually with the measure tools.

An export method would be really useful.

Hi, @Anonymous and @Anonymous

In Navis we can combine two models ... but it's no true positions (we should say about some unaccurancy) - so if you want export positions of model, that means that you can edit "base point" in initial files - if these files are Revit - you can select one coordinate systems in it and combine in one model correctly. If you write your software - may be I can help you to fine more adequate way to coordinate it without Navis.
If you want export points from Navis - you can f.e. create with Custom parameters View point and then save it ...
