Share Property Mapping
- Create a template:
- In Navisworks, open a model.
- Open Quantification > Set up your project.
- Open the Item Catalog and map the global or individual properties for your project. See To Map Global Properties and To Map Individual Properties.
- Save your model as an NWD file, using a memorable name (it may be useful to call it a template). This file will form your property mapping template. If you want to use the template straight away, keep the file open in Navisworks and proceed to Step 2.
- Use the template:
- Open the NWD template file created at Step 1, if not already open.
- On the Ribbon, click Home tab > Project panel > Append and browse for a project that should share the property mapping of your template.
- Open the Selection Tree. Notice your template file and the appended project are displayed together.
- Right-click your template file > Delete. At the confirmation dialog, click Yes.
- Verify the property mapping from the template has been transferred to your new project. Do this by cross-referencing the property mapping in the Item Catalog and the Item Map Rules tab with your template file.
- Save your project.
