How to show Quick Properties pop up for multiple selected items simultaneously

In a model of Oil & Gas Plant I regularly select multiple items and I want to see quick properties pop up simultaneously for all selected items. Also to be able to take image of selected items with quick properties visible

Thanks in Advance

are you selecting all the same item, i.e. selecting a bunch of doors, and want to see each doors settings?

 

you can use the Selection Inspector and add Quick Properties Definitions to display the information you want from the selection. I can be a pain to identify all the parameters to add, but once it is set up it should work like a schedule.

Thank you for quick answer. I select set of Equipment, Piping, Instruments, ... etc. and I want to see quick properties 

displayed as pop up on the items themselves not in the selection inspector. Is it possible?

I don't think you will be able to do that in Navisworks. I could be wrong... but I cant ever remember seeing property "popups" in Navisworks. The properties are only displayed thru the Inspector.

My experience is that Quick Properties will only display properties of a single element.  As mentioned above, the Selection Inspector is helpful for reviewing Quick Properties of multiple elements of interest.
