¶ Navisworks Extension (Formerly Known as Navisworks Macro)
Assistant can be extended with custom tasks known as extensions. This extension allows you to customize and automate tasks within the Navisworks environment. If you primarily use Navisworks as your design software, this extension can significantly enhance your workflow.
For general information about extension tasks in Assistant, please read our comprehensive guide on Assistant Extensions.
¶ Getting Started
To begin using Navisworks Extensions, start by adding an Navisworks Extension to your task list:
¶ Choosing Your Navisworks Version
Navisworks Extensions support different versions of Navisworks. To ensure you select the appropriate version:
- Ensure you are connected to a Navisworks instance, and the correct version is automatically extracted from the connected instance.
- If you're not connected, a drop-down menu will allow you to select the appropriate version.
¶ Verified Compatibility
Assistant's package browser mode will indicate whether the selected extension is verified for your chosen Navisworks version. This verification ensures that the extension is well-suited for your environment and reduces potential compatibility issues.
