Selection tree

[Anonymous]

Hello

I am pretty new still to the Navisworks API, and was wondering what is possible in regards to manipulating the selection tree

http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/navisworks-products/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/201... is an article about the selection tree

It states: Additional customized Selection Tree options can be added by using the Autodesk Navisworks API.

this suggests that we can add more options to the following standard representation option. I would be delighted if I could get an example, because my friend google has not been helping me enough on this subject 😉

• Standard.
• Compact. 
• Properties
• Sets

I've not had much luck with assembling spec trees in NV.  The few hacks that I've found do not work very well, and I couldn't append any files into the sub-folders. 

Currently, I'm trying to export CATIA Points into Navisworks using IFC.  But I'm having a bunch of problems unrelated to your question on this thread, so I wan't derail it.  One of my problems is, even if I can import points, I can't figure out how to structure the tree so that I can reasonably organize these points into sets in NV. 

So, I'm subscribing to this thread in the hopes that one of our colleagues will have an answer to this question.

Hi,

Please refer to the two blogs I wrote in the past. It is a kind of feature of COM API.

These are what I investigated on the older releases. It allows you to add one more type of selection in the built-in selection tree. I cannot guarantee it can work in the new release. In addition, what we suggest is to build your own panel with any type of your tree with .NET API.
