That's a great question and I'm ...Hi Bill. That's a great question and I'm not sure I have a solid answer. From the testing that I've done, NW will take the info in the URL prop first. But, when I have "Convert Element Props" checked inside of the NW Export Settings, it took the custom URL prop that I set up (in Revit) as the Default Hyperlink in NW. So it doesn't appear to be an exact science.<br /><br />It doesn't look like NW will take all the URL's from Revit and categorize them as "one" Hyperlink in NW. However, if you go to the Props of the object in NW, you will find all URL's that belong to the Revit object.<br /><br />Best way to see all the URL's is to right-click on the Hyperlink icon in NW, then choose "Select item...". This will make sure you are selecting the proper object and not a sub-object/geometry of the family.Dwane Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04103724351762050322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196691008955862684.post-4396011420348435662011-12-02T12:10:01.486-06:002011-12-02T12:10:01.486-06:00Dwane,

I'm helping some customers with Navisworks/Revit interoperability issues and amazingly, you came up in a google search. In your post you tested and succeeded exporting a Revit element's URL value to Navisworks via NWC. What about custom URLs in the same object? It appears that the NW Exporter will only take one URL and assign it as the default. How is NW choosing which one is default and why not all of them?Bill Knittle, Synergisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196691008955862684.post-89375393584886947892010-05-08T16:58:13.810-05:002010-05-08T16:58:13.810-05:00The exporter will carry forward the URL that is sp...The exporter will carry forward the URL that is specified in the Type Properties within an object when the file is exported from Revit to an NWC file. When you export the NWC, make sure to check the Options and see that there are checks (in the check boxes) that export out the parameters.Dwane Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04103724351762050322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196691008955862684.post-51013025964419798132010-05-06T08:54:32.032-05:002010-05-06T08:54:32.032-05:00I can only get it to work for a Family and not a s...I can only get it to work for a Family and not a specific objectAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196691008955862684.post-4381904243350863312010-02-19T14:02:34.553-06:002010-02-19T14:02:34.553-06:00Hello Dwane,
