"Save back to earlier Navisworks versions from Batch Utility"

Could you show where I can actually find this option?

Hi guys,

I am creating a deployment for Freedom 2013 and the service pack won't take. I get an error saying the patch cannot be included in this deployment. I've tried this on my machine and a test machine and get the same error.

Thoughts?

Hi Daniel,

We are aware of these issues and they are both currently with development.

Hi I just tried the new service pack for Navisworks. It's better but it's not good yet

The parts still don't get the material name from the layers in the walls and the properties are still off. In the elements tab there is a difference between revit properties for area and volume and navisworks.

I still say that revit makes better nwcs from revit files than Navisworks does.
