Exporting attributes that show up in other software

There is a way.


Exporting Rhino geometries as .csv format and importing them into Navisworks with DataTools tool. Just need to edit in excel.


Navisworks recognizes the names of rhino geometries. This is the key that will create the connection between the two programs. Give different names to each geometry in the Rhino. (wasily with Grasshopper)


After naming, it is necessary to export Rhino geometries in Object Properties.csv format. Object names and properties are selected and exported. (whatever is wanted).


Our goal is to see the properties of the object we clicked by creating a tab in the Properties panel. Names are listed in the item field in the excel table in order to match the names on the item tab in the Properties panel. Type and features are added to the excel column as desired. The page name must also be Properties!!!


Then click the New tab in the Navisworkte Datatools tool. Tab name, location of Excel file and Sql String suitable for Excel are required. In addition, the field name and display name are written manually.
SELECT * from [Properties$] where “Item”=%prop(“Item”, “Name”);


And here it is…


Finally, the Excel link is live. In order to break this link and embed the information in the file, it should be published by selecting ‘Embed Database Properties’.
