No Additional Buttons Showing in Navisworks Ribbon

Hi.

I have downloaded and extracted the most recent version per the readme, however nothing is showing up in the Navisworks ribbon. When I try to delete the folder when Navisworks is running, I am unable to. This seems similar to a previously closed issue: #3 however I do not fully understand the steps taken to resolve it.

Location of extracted folder: C:\ProgramData\Autodesk Navisworks Manage 2019\Plugins\NavisPythonShell
Version: 2019.0.2

Many thanks,

Tom

NPS for Navisworks manage 2022

Anyone successfully installed nps on Naviswoks manage 2022?

Any way to have nonblocking window?

Apparently, there's no way to interact with other Navisworks screens if the "IronPython Console" is opened.
Any way to dock NavisPythonShell's window and use it seamlessly with the rest of Navisworks?

Script Example List of properties import nwp

Hi there,

Thank you for the NPS. It is great.

I am trying for a while to get the properties of element through NPS, however it always give me an error:
SystemError: Only valid for ModelItem in a document

I started looking to the example and I saw you were taking the properties in one of your examples.

I realised nwp is imported.

I tried to import, and totally copy and paste the example and it does not work either.

Could I please ask if I am missing something here?

Thank you very much.

I have this issue please help

No plugin tab showing (2020) - with fix!

In case this helps another user - I extracted the source files to the %appdata% Navisworks folder as per the readme, but no plugin table showed up..

Instead I moved the plugins folder to the Navisworks folder in Program Files - and the add-in tab shows up, problem solved!

(works with both Simulate and Manage)

Thanks for a great tool @dimven

Compile broken: missing DLLs

Hi,
I'm using navisworks Manage 2017 and had some trouble building the plugin from sources.
You forgot to copy the RequiredLibraries folder from RevitPythonShell, or at least the two assemblies:

• WPG.dll
• System.Windows.Controls.WpfPropertyGrid.dll

I don't know where they come from or if it's possible to add them via NuGet.
With these two references in place I was able to build and run the plugin in NV 2017.

No Ribbon Buttons shown in Navisworks

Hi everyone,

I tried installing the Navisworks Python shell by extracting the release zip file to the %APPDATA%\Autodesk Navisworks Manage 2016\Plugins location, but when I run the Navisworks software I don't see any buttons in the ribbon so I can't start the python shell. I know it's definitely loaded into Navisworks because when I tried to delete the folder when Navisworks is running, it won't let me delete it. So my question is, how do I get the python shell buttons showing? Thanks a lot!

NPS for Navisworks manage 2023

I have updated the references in the solution to 2023 and changed to .NET Framework 4.8 but builds fails. Anyone have any luck getting NPS for 2023?

Readme - Plugin Folder Location

In the readme the plugin folder is under %programdata% not %appdata%.

Navisworks crashes when click on NPS

I've recompiled in both manage 2018 and 2019 but Navisworks crashes when I try to open NPS.
Any idea why?

Navisworks Manage 2021

I tried installing both in %AppData% and %ProgramFiles%, it is not working for me. I used the 2020 zip link. However, my version is Navis Manage 2021, is this an issue?

text disappears from editor on first click after opening a script

Hi,
I'm glad you're keeping this project alive!

I just installed navisworks 2020 and your plugin, and it works like a charm... but I face a minor annoyance: after opening a script for the first time, the editor empties itself at the first click on it.

steps to reproduce

1. Open Navisworks manage 2020
2. Open NPS
3. Click on the "Open Python Script" button
4. Select and open the script
5. Click anywhere in the editor panel
6. The text disappears/closes.
7. repeat steps 3 to 5
8. The text is still there and you can continue with the coding.

missing pdb files

i cannot find these three files in the zip files PythonConsoleControl.pdb,NpsRuntime.pdb,NavisPythonShell.pdb. i have copies the files from Noexclude.txt and exclude.txt files into the two directories "Plugins , Dependencies" but i couldnot find the pdb files.

ClashTest Constructor

Hi there,

ClashTest Constructor
Create a clash test.
Namespace: Autodesk.Navisworks.Api.Clash
Assembly: Autodesk.Navisworks.Clash (in Autodesk.Navisworks.Clash.dll)

I think it should be as simple as:

newclash = ClashTest()

For some reason I cannot figure out it does not work in PythonShell.
Any thought or advice?

Thank you very much in advance.

Note: I can do a workaround by duplicating a current ClashTest and do anything from there, but I would prefer if I can use the ClashTest constructor.

Request: NavisPythonShell Zip file for Manage 2017

I was wondering if you could push a NavisPythonShell Zip folder for Navisworks Manage 2017? I do not currently have any Visual Studio access that allows me to compile the solution for my own version. I've tried extracting the 2016, 2019, and 2020 releases into my Plugins folder, but no tool/add-in menu appears in my Manage.

Thank you for the development of this tool, I can't wait to use it!

Also, when placing the 2016, 2019 and 2020 extracted files into my plugins folder, I never saw the tools/add-ins tab show up in my Manage 2017.
