pyRevit is effective; in less than a month, I have created four tools. Can we anticipate pyNavis to facilitate plugin creation within Navisworks?
No, you can’t. That would be a pretty different project.
Feel free to start building it.
It would be close to:
based on @eirannejad work with GitHub - pyrevitlabs/NavisPythonWrapper: Python Wrapper for Navisworks API (Work in progress)
Right now, our main focus is to get the beast (pyRevit) working in Revit 2025
Yes, Jean, it must be a distinct project. There are many Navisworks users who depend on paid tools, which I believe could be created using your tools if you decide to develop one. Currently, I have committed to $50 per month; I will increase it to $100 per month for lifetime and also encourage others to support your contributions financially. I know it’s not much.
Thanks
and no worry, our commitment is not about the money, it is more about the challenge and the love of coding.
Two years late, but here it is: pyNavis exists now, and it is free and open source.
It brings the pyRevit idea to Navisworks Manage 2023 through 2027. A folder with a script.py is a ribbon button, Reload picks it up, and the pynavis library covers selection, properties, search sets, clash tests, viewpoints, sectioning and Excel. About thirty tools ship with it, and there is an experimental Ask AI panel that writes a bundle from a plain-words request using your own API key.

If either of you tries it, I would like to hear what breaks.
