Customize Properties in the TakeOffFileMap Node
Make a back-up copy of the property map file you wish to customize. This is likely to be the file: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Navisworks Manage [year]\Quantification\TakeoffPropertyMap.xml, or a Navisworks xml property map of your choice.

.In the left navigation pane, click your model (as opposed to individual objects).
In the Category column, select Item from the drop-down list.
In the Property column, select Creator from the drop-down list.
In the Condition column, select Contains from the drop-down list.
In the Value column, select Revit from the drop-down list.

Paste your copied text into the property map file (find and replace the existing condition node if it is visible in the file).
In the property map file, locate the code
