Find Items

Find items has had some long-standing issues with the way properties are managed. In Navisworks 2025, we introduce a fundamental change to the way find items works. We also introduce highlighting a found property in the properties panel.

As a result of these changes, many long standing defects have been resolved:

• Find item search not respecting file units
• Cannot find items when the search criteria involve "Element" property category on German Navisworks
• Cannot find dimension properties in the list of "Find Item" dialog
• Not all Find Item Values are exposed
• Duplicate name parameter in “Quick Property Definitions”
• Values displayed instead of source units in selection tree rather than UI units
• Duplicated entries of the same categories in the selection inspector
• Duplication of property names in the Find Items property list in Navisworks
• Automatic change of values in the Find item tree in Navisworks from feet to meters
• Find Items shows different results with typed in value vs chosen value
