Is it possible to open nwd file and get coordinates using Navisworks API .NET

[Anonymous]

Hi, just a quick question before I begin.

Is it possible to open NWD file and get the x, y, z coordinates using Navisworks API .NET?

I plan to extract coordinates from NWD files by writing a VB .NET software using Navisworks API .NET.

If yes, can you suggest where can I start?

Which material/sample should I look for?

Thank you.

x,y,z coords of what?

[Anonymous]

I have cuboid, cylinder in NWD files.

The scene is made of a few drawing items.

I want to know what primitives the scene on the view is composed of?

In other words, I want to loop each drawing items and extract the type (cube, cylinder, cone, sphere, etc), position (x, y, z) and dimension (length, width, height, radius, depth etc)?

Thank you

I believe you will need that data in the models properties to be able to extract it...so you will have to search for those items then grab their properties.
