BILT NA 2017 - Abstract Submission Reminder

Hey you! Yes, you! Remember back at school when you’d get caught talking to someone during class, and we’d all have that one teacher who’d say, “Got something to share with the class?” Well, BILT North America (formerly RTC NA) is currently calling for abstracts and this is your time to shine!
Are you implementing new methods in your workplace that others in your industry can benefit from? Maybe you’ve found an alternate method that’s a more efficient way of modeling a project or it’s something else altogether. If you’ve ticked any of these boxes, we encourage you to turn these into abstracts and submit them for consideration in the BILT NA 2017 program.
On the other hand, if you haven’t ticked any of the boxes above, fear not. If you have an idea that you think is worth submitting an abstract for, but you’re not sure if it’s something that can make the cut for our program, feel free to discuss this in confidence with our speaker manager, Robert Bell. We’re always looking for ‘out of the box’ submissions.
The BILT NA Committee looks forward to receiving your abstract submissions before Wednesday January 4, 2017 11:59pm EST.

  
Kind Regards,
R. Robert Bell
Chairman, BILT North America

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

Navisworks - Multiple Iterations and Locked Files

Image
While working in Navisworks and you find that you are updating your models frequently, you have probably ran into the issue of having to close your Navisworks model in order to update your appended model. There is a quick way to get around this. In the Options Editor >  Model   > Performance , make sure “Close NWC/NWD Files on Load” is checked. This will now allow you to overwrite NWC files without unloading them in your NWF file. So when you have an updated NWC that has overwritten the existing file, you just need to refresh Navisworks for the new model(s) to load.
