Hello everybody,
I’m trying to set up some shared parameters in Revit 2015 for export to Navisworks but it’s not working. I’ve watched some tutorials and looked through the forum but it keeps going wrong with me somehow. I was hoping someone could take a look at my process to determine where I went wrong.
My goal is: Adding text parameters (Metadata information) when creating Revit families which are transferred with the family into a project and subsequently into an export to Navisworks .NWC file (so when you open the file in Navisworks and click on an element, in the property tab the text parameters from the Revit family are visible)
My best guess is to do this with shared parameters. I’ve done the following steps:
Here is where my first question arises. In the Properties window this information is not shown. This is due to the fact the property window shows instances properties. But when I repeat step 11 to 16 and at step 12 I select Instance. It will still not show in the property window (my feeling says something must have already gone wrong)
Continuing I perform the following steps
So somewhere I did something wrong. I hope someone can help me.
Regards,
Peter
Welcome to the forum.
Your doing the Revit part well. Its' at the moment of exporting to NWC where you might be missing something. Before exporting, click on Navisworks settings. The default setting for "Convert element parameters" is "None". Change that to Elements or All. Then, export to NWC. In Navisworks, when you select the object and see its properties, there should be a new tab in the Properties window, called "Element (LcRevitData_Element)". Your shared parameter should be there.
