How can I update the file path of linked NWC files?

[dariolorenzetti]

Hi.

I'm checking different models of a project.

I've exported several NWC files, created groups and data set for clash analysis. I've also saw that, if i need to update a clash analysis, i can just overwrite one of the original NWC file and relaunch the test or move/delete the original file and than re-assign the new path on the following NWF opening.

Now, i've deleted the original folder, but when i open the NWF file, it load unknown files from a non existing path, without any error message.

i attach an example of one of the non-existing path.

All the files are uploaded in BIM360, already sync, and i've already checked the folder status with browser and desktop connector.

Can anyone tell me how to relink/update with corrected files without the risk to lost all the groups/tests?

Hi @a_meteni , thanks for answer.

I never used Glue, so could you help me in understand the point 2 of the indicated link?

"convert the current BIM 360 Glue engine as a middleman between BIM 360 Document Management and Navisworks."

Sincerily i'm using BIM360 docs to manage/store files, but i don't know how i can use Glue for reach my goal, and also Autodesk help pages doesn't give many support in this way.

Our workflow for collaboration and clash detection is almost similar but we export NWDs rather than the NWC cache files and append them to one federated NWF including all data sets and clash analysis. All files are stored locally and no linked files from the cloud. If you want to keep your data sets and clash tests of the NWF file, you can delete the NWC file from the selection tree and re-append the same file again from a local path or through the desktop connector.

Regarding your query about point 2, Please check this link.
