What it can do
- Reads items, properties, sets, viewpoints, sectioning, clash results, TimeLiner tasks and quantities through one read-only tool.
- Applies a list of changes as a single undo step, with a preview mode that plans without changing.
- Exports images, NWD, NWF, CSV, clash reports and task and quantity CSVs.
- Runs C# against the Navisworks API for anything the other tools lack.
Limitations
- Needs Node 24 and Visual Studio 2022 Build Tools to build the plug-in.
- Quantification takeoff from IFC on 2027 needs the IFC Conversion Method set back to v3.
- No licence file is published.
