Practical ideas for Revit, BIM and construction technology. Built from years of shared experience.
Full credit goes to Adam Sheather for all his hard work on this. Basically, it is a Dynamo package that can talk to Navisworks. I think he has started something pretty special here… How to get DynaWor…
