Deleting Single File As well As some particular objects from any file in NW Environment using NW API

[aishwarya_karande]

In my project, I'm currently using the public void RemoveFile(int index) functionality of the NW API to delete files in specific cases. However, I've encountered an issue when there is only a single file in the NW environment. In such a scenario, the RemoveFile function doesn't seem to be very helpful, as there is no delete option available on the CAD side for a single NW file.

I am looking for a solution to delete files under certain conditions in my project. Is there an alternative functionality in the NW API that allows the deletion of a single file?

As well as is there also any functionality available to delete a specific object within a file?

Hi @aishwarya_karande ,

Please be aware that the Navisworks API rarely supports functionality that is not also available in the user interface. Therefore, if the UI does not support a particular feature, the API probably won't either. It is always helpful to research the optimal manual approach to a solution first before attempting to address the task programmatically.

Can you achieve what you want through the Navisworks UI without any issues?
