Navisworks Connector - PreAlpha contributions requested

Great! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Let me know what all you need!

Nothing specific, and can be as simple or as tricky as you like.


As a caveat, solids convert but not linework geometry; embedded CAD will be discarded and not added as cruft. I have stress-tested the conversions a bunch (Big models === Slow) and sadly still experience occasional inexplicable crashes ¯\(ツ)/¯. Because Navis models are always from someplace else, sometimes odd quirks arise that need ironing out.

Essentially, If you share an example file(s), I’ll run a few different conversions from the options UI I’m still working on:

  • full conversion (again, big can be a pain)
  • by layers,
  • by selection sets
  • by search sets,
  • colour overrides (temporary or permanent),
  • move-to-zero or real location.

All these are working just need to convert from flags embedded in code to sensible UI options. :robot:

I’ll make a branch per contribution and probably sub-branches to that which describe what selection or transformation options have been applied. Using all the Speckle :speckle: commenting goodness.

I have another thread where I have been thinking in public about what the object model should be and have settled on something I think works well (based only on my own needs for data QA really)

If you have other ideas :thinking: :cloud: - I’m also gathering those and super keen to receive them too.
