Is there an easy way of clicking a cell in excel, specifying the viewpoint name, and then Navisworks pops up displaying the said viewpoint?

 

any help much appreciated.

Hi @Shmuel-rozenberg ,

 

I am not sure how to trigger button clicks in Excel via C# code.
I would suggest you figure that out on your own.

 

But once the button is clicked, you can open and view the viewpoint via the Navisworks automation API.

Automation API - https://apidocs.co/apps/navisworks/2017/87317537-2911-4c08-b492-6496c82b3ed7.htm 

You can access the saved viewpoints, get the required viewpoint by specifying the viewpoint name and make the required viewpoint as current viewpoint.

I hope this helps.
