GeometryNodes missing in de Power BI data-set

[D.S_Bosma]

Hi,

I encountered a problem I do not understand. I want to publish geometry from Navisworks to Power BI, but from some objects, the GeometryNodes are missing in the power bi data-set; the models.collection are there. Below the steps

(1) Select 2 object in Navisworks and publish to Speckle Online

(2) Within Speckle Online, when selecting an object i see the the ‘GeometryNode’ and the properties

(3) When loading the data into power bi, only 1 object is loaded as ‘GeometryNodes’

So the questions I have
(1) Should the GeometryNode be there of both geometrical objects with the current workflow?
(2) Is my assumption correct the GeometryNodes are needed in the data-set to extract the properties of the geometry and make it selectable in de viewer
(3) Does it matter how/ on which level the geomtry is selected in Navisworks before its send to Speckle, in order to get the GeometryNodes in the data-set

Versions

Thanks in advance,
Douwe

Hey @D.S_Bosma,

Can you please share with us the project URL? Make sure the project is set to “Link Sharable”.

Thank you

Hi Nikos

Do you have any update upon this topic?
I Have the same problem with other models in Power BI unfortunately

@Nikos: do you have any update upon this topic?

I now have the same problem, but with another project and a different CAD tool (Open Roads). Within the online speckle viewe, once an object is selected the ‘speckle_type Objects.Core.Models.GeometryNode’ is visible, but within power bi these types are not there. And therefore no objects can be selected and no information is there

I can’t think of a reason why a Navis model visible in the web application would not be retrievable in PowerBI data connector, regardless of the source.

We’ll need more to work with here.

Is there anything i can do/ deliver in order to help?

[jonathon]

As ever share a speckle url is a good first step

I’ve taken a look at each of your shared models. Your original report and the last report is legit - can see the issue you are reporting - I will raise the development ticket - apologies this didnt happen earlier.

Incidentally, I made a fix for Navisworks connector last week that will appear later today/tomorrow as a WIP release. This addresses a minor issue I see exhibited in the station model propagating properties from collection to Geometry Node.

Keep an eye out, download and try uploading the data again.
