Automating Navisworks File Creation by adding Selection Sets and Color Profiles at startup

[Kemahdude]

Hello,

The question, How to add Selection Sets and Color Profiles at navisworks startup, and Apply the profiles before saving the .NWD and closing out.

Hi, I hope you are feeling well, it seems to me that the closest to what you are looking for can be achieved with the Appearance profiler, here you can preconfigure the appearance of the selection sets and save this configuration and then just load it and apply it. I share with you the Autodesk help where you can find more information:

In the case of the Sets, the same thing happens, you can pre-configure with Find Items the rules from which it should track the information. You can export this and then load it in a new project and track under those rules and create the sets automatically:

I hope you find it useful, best regards!

My question should have been more clear. I've setup an automatic file creation system by time and project number that scrapes all the dwg files from our different departments. I'd like to add to the automation by having the selection set And the color profiles also added and have the model updated to those colors and saved.
