Export to navisworks via Dynamo Player

I hate Navis with a passion :stuck_out_tongue: I’m hoping Dynamo can allow management of clash detection in a reasonable way, previously I just got 10k clashes to individually categorise!

Though for $10 this looks good value…

And @Luke_Johnson seems to have been working some magic!


When Revit does something (e.g. place a new window), it starts a transaction, does it then ends the transaction.

Usually a Dynamo graph is a single transaction, but in this graph, the transaction nodes mean 2 distinct transactions are executed, one after the other.

This allows Revit to create the new view, bank it, then start the next transaction, (which uses that view) and export it.

Perhaps when a transaction ends, an Id is created which is then necessary for the view export?

You don’t often need to force it like that, but if something is failing where 1 thing is dependent on the other, it’s worth trying. I tend to try the passthrough first.

Hope that’s of interest!
