Click on the button labelled "Project Setup" from the "Quantification" workbook:ģ. Make sure that you have the "Selection Tree" and the "Quantification Workbook" palettes open:Ģ. OK, so now we are good to go! To perform the quantity takeoff, do the following:ġ. From Navisworks, use the "Append" command and navigate to the exported NWC file (remember to change the "files of type" first from the open file dialog to "*.nwc")

Using Revit in my example, click on "NWC" from the "Export" application menu, and save the Navisworks cache file somewhere (Note that I recommend being in a full 3D view with all elements visible)ĭ. You will now be able to export to NWC files from a range of applications including Revit, Civil 3D, AutoCAD etc.Ĭ. Make sure that you have installed the latest Navisworks exporters from here: ī. If you are not yet familiar with this process, here is a brief explanation:Ī.

So, assuming that you have a model that was not developed by a complete idiot, I'm using one from Revit, courtesy of Prokon Software Consultants, do the nessecary exports to Navisworks and append the model using the exported Navisworks cache file. These are the things that would ususally mess up the QTO process. If the reference template has been deleted, the referenced components will remain in the drawing that references them.Autodesk Navisworks Manage 2016 Quantity Take-off Tutorial / Example:Ĭreating a quantity take-off in Navisworks Manage 2016 is quite similar to the process that we followed with Autodesk Quantity Take-off, prior to its combining with Navisworks.Īs long as your source model is logical, and does not contain walls that runs from the lowest level to the highest level (unless you only have 2 levels) or columns that rises 2 or more levels or foundations that is supposed to be associated to the lowest level, but instead is associated with the Roof level, and has a base offset of -25000.If you are temporarily not able to access the path, the referenced components will still be available in the drawing that references them but they will not be updated until your connection to the path is restored.If the name or location of the template has changed, you can change the path in the dialog box by directly editing the path in the Saved Path column or by using the browse button to reselect the template.If the reference template cannot be found, the referenced components are still available in the drawing that references them, but they will not be updated until the path is restored. If you open a drawing whose reference templates cannot be found, such as if they are on a network location that is not currently accessible, or if the reference templates are moved, renamed, or deleted, a Path Not Found notification is displayed in the Status column in the Attach Reference Templates dialog box: You can also remove referenced components that have not been used. For example, if a template has ten point styles, you can choose to reference only the five that you want. You can be selective about which components you want to reference from a reference template.

New or edited components that are saved to the reference templates are updated in the drawings when the drawings are reopened or when the templates are manually reloaded.įor example, if you update a style or add a new style to the project standards template, those changes are pushed to the drawings that reference that template. You can specify a hierarchy so that the template with the highest priority takes precedence if there are duplicate styles. For example, you might have templates for state, company, and project standards: In addition, you can have multiple reference templates attached to a drawing. If a component such as a style is in use, a local copy of it is made in the drawing.
