Viewpoints Files

Viewpoints can be exported from Navisworks to an XML file.

These viewpoints contain all associated data, including camera positions, sections, markups, comments, tags and collision detection settings. Exporting collision detection settings requires the Clash Detective feature, which is available to Autodesk Navisworks Manage users only.

Once the viewpoint data is exported to this text-based file format, it can either be imported into other Navisworks sessions, or it can be accessed and used in other applications. For example, you may want to set up the same viewpoints in your CAD application.
