Navisworks 2018 Database Link w/ Excel - Primer

Image
For this demo, I am going to use the Gatehouse sample file that ships with Navisworks 2018. You can find the files C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Navisworks Manage 2018\Samples\Gatehouse\. If you have a newer or older version of Navisworks, the process basically works the same. The Process In order to connect an external data source such as an Excel spreadsheet or an Access database to a Navisworks model, we need to configure a DataTools within Navisworks. We will then be configuring the database connection. When working with the DataTools in Navisworks, there are a few very important rules to keep in mind. If you are using a 32-bit workstation, then you need to utilize the 32-bit ODBC drivers. 64-bit workstations need to utilize 64-bit ODBC drivers. It is also important to note, that the link to Navisworks is one way. Data can be linked and viewed inside of Navisworks, but the data can’t be updated within Navisworks. My workstations are all Windows 10 64-bit workstations. My PC’s are using...

Schedule Pipe Fitting Angles

I am working on a project that is very complex in nature and has a result, has presented some very interesting opportunities. On the project, we are providing some general BIM/VDC Support Services. We are not modeling. One of the more interesting aspects of the project is the number of custom HVAC and Pipe Fittings in the project. This is probably a good Segway into discussing setting up your Revit MEP template, but today I just wanted to discuss how to report Fitting Angles. It's a two step process. The first step is to create a shared parameter to capture the fitting angle. The second step is to modify all of your fitting families. In this case, I will work with Pipe Fittings. Step 1 With either a Project or a Family open (it doesn't matter which), go to Manage tab » Shared Parameters. If you haven't created a Shared Parameter file yet, click 'Create...' and this will start a new file to act as a database for your Shared Parameters. Once created (or if already cre...
