This topic has come up in some shape or form several times but unfortunately I couldn't find any working solutions so I'll ask again, hoping for some insights:
In Civil3d I've got a 3d-Solid with an attached propertyset and some properties.
One of those properties is an absolute filepath (type: string) that, in this example, references an image:
After exporting, I can open the IFC in Solibri where everything works as expected and the hyperlinks are even clickable:
Opening the same file in BimCollab Zoom, everything works as expected and while not directly clickable, I can open the image with a right-mouse-click -> open.
In Navisworks however, my string isn't escaped correctly and I get a hot mess that looks like this:
I've tried a couple of things, but no matter what, I can't get the string to display correctly:
Not working:
D:\MyTestImages\IMG_8071.JPG
Also not working:
D:\\MyTestImages\\IMG_8071.JPG
Does someone know what I have to do to make Navisworks recognize filepaths correctly?
I wanted to test @brett_parkerLUEP7 suggestion here that "Properties Panel Enhanced" makes hyperlinks clickable but as shown above, I can't even get Navisworks to display a path to begin with.
