The image created doesn't contain selection of selected elements (using Application.ActiveDocument.ActiveView.GenerateImage method)

[ol.nistratov]

I have tested this behavior on Navisworks 2025 and Navisworks 2026.

Steps to reproduce:

1. In Navisworks manage select an element in the Selection Tree.

2. Create image using  a GenerateImage method

var image = Application.ActiveDocument.ActiveView
    .GenerateImage(ImageGenerationStyle.Scene, 1280, 720, false);

3. Save image to the file and see result. 

Actual result:

Created image does not contain selected element.

Is this a bug, or I missed something?

It is possible to create an image with selected elements using Navisworks API? 

Thank you.

Hi,
I  was able to reproduce the issue.
To clarify, when I select an element via the Navisworks UI and export the image through the UI, the selected elements are highlighted in the exported image. However, this behavior does not occur when using the Navisworks API.
I will discuss this with the team and get back to you.

Hi @ol.nistratov ,

I checked with the Engineering team, and they have requested that an enhancement request be raised to expose this functionality via the API.

Accordingly, I have submitted a ticket with the Engineering team. Please find the ticket details below:
