Release news Naviate for Revit

Naviate Accelerate September Release 2025

Release news for Naviate Accelerate. Highlights includes new download from MySymetri, updates to Sheet Collections, Publish, View and Sheets from Settings, CAD Tracker and more.

New! Download applications from MySymetri

Use my.symetri.com to download your Naviate applications. We have added a new tab to My Symetri to allow you to download software from Symetri.

On top of the page, you see all applications that you’re assigned to. Further down you see all applications available for download.

Select the version you want to download and press Download. The download is managed by the browser you are using.

Note! Depending on the settings for your account you may see more tabs or not see the Application tab at all.

If you have manager rights for your company in My Symetri you can turn on and off the ability for regular users to download applications in the company settings for applications.

With this setting turned off regular users will not see the Applications tab.

Note! Only new versions will be available on the Applications page on my.symetri.com. Older versions can be downloaded from naviate.com/downloads/ as before.

Check for updates

Get notified if there are newer versions available for download. When Naviate 2025 is started there is a check if there are newer versions available of your installed applications.

All available updates are shown in a dialog box:

Click on Go to My Symetri to go to my.symetri.com to download the available updates. You can postpone the check if you don’t want to download and install the new versions. The available options are:

  • until next startup – Remind me next time Revit/Naviate is started (default).
  • 1 day – Remind me when starting Revit/Naviate next day.
  • 1 week - Remind me when starting Revit/Naviate next week.
  • 1 month - Remind me when starting Revit/Naviate next month.
  • until next version – Don’t remind me until a newer version has been released.

If no updates are available or if you have postponed the check for updates no message is displayed when starting Naviate.

It is possible to turn off the notification for new updates when doing a scripted installation of the application as in earlier versions. This is done by using the parameter UPDATEMODE=0.

Separate install for Naviate Accelerate

Download and install Accelerate separately; no longer automatically installed by A, E, FAB, H, L, MEP, S or SL applications.

You need to download and install Naviate Accelerate as a separate application. You also need to update it separately if there is a newer version available.

Applications installed in separate sub-folders

Each application is installed separately and run more independently to avoid problems of using different versions together.

We still recommend that you install the latest version of all your Naviate applications but with this change it is less risk that you will have any problems using different versions of your Naviate applications.

The Install UI for all application has some changes. It is now easier to select the wanted country setting for Naviate tools.

The selected Country/Region is used by Naviate tools. Some tools use selected country as default setting and some tools that are developed for a certain country will only be visible for that country.

Country/Region setting can be changed after installation using Naviate Settings in the About pulldown menu. All applications are using the same selected country; if you change for one application it affects all.

When installing a second Naviate 2025 application the previously selected country/region is selected as default in the dialog box, but you can change to use another one.

Help tools included in each application

Help is no longer in a separate application; the tools are included in each application.

Updated Symetri login

Additional methods for login in if login window is not automatically shown.

The login page should automatically appear in the default browser. If you don’t get the login page you can now choose to try to open the browser or use a mobile device to login.

Updated Symetri licensing

Improved performance with less dependencies on external services and a new method for off-line activation.

We have removed the dependency on an external service that caused problems with the licensing. With this change we also introduce a new method for managing licenses on computers that are not connected to internet.

If you have rights to manage licenses on My Symetri there is now an option to create a license file including Single user licenses that you can copy to machine not connected to internet.

A zip-file is generated and downloaded by the browser. Extract the included license files and copy them to the %appdata%\Symetri\Licensing folder on the machine you want to use off-line when you are logged in as the user specified when creating the license file.

Sheet Collections

Added Sheet Collection support to a variety of features from Manage Sheets tab.

Revit 2025 introduces the Sheet Collection feature, allowing users to assign sheets within a model into flexible groupings. Sheet Collection parameters are now available for compatible view types in Revit, alongside existing sheet parameters. This update enables multiple sheets to share identical sheet numbers, provided they belong to different Sheet Collections.

This means that several Naviate features that interact with sheets have been updated to support Sheet Collections. These features include:

  • Create Sheets
  • Create Empty Sheets
  • Edit Sheet Parameters
  • Place Views
  • Align Views
  • Revision Manager
  • View and Sheet from Settings
  • Legend Manager
  • Print Set Manager
  • View Filter Manager
  • Edit Parameter Values

Publish

Updated IFC Export to support Category Mapping templates.

Revit 2025 introduced Category Mapping templates for IFC Export. We updated IFC Export in Publish feature to support these templates.

View and Sheet from Settings

Added Scope Box option when creating, naming and numbering sheets.

You can now create sheets for different Scope Boxes per level. The Scope Box name is incorporated into both the Sheet Naming Convention and the Sheet Numbering Convention. When adding sheets to the list, you can select not only View Sets and Levels but also one or more Scope Boxes.

CAD Tracker

Added possibility to open a CAD file or CAD file location from UI.

Now you can open CAD files and file locations directly from CAD Tracker. To do this, simply right click on a linked CAD file and choose one of the available options.

Fixes

  • Family Browser - Fixed errors when selecting a directory containing folder shortcuts.
  • Publish – There is a known bug in Publish when upgrading projects from Revit 2021 to 2025. Saved settings in Publish are not converted correctly and data loss may occur. A workaround is to first upgrade to Revit 2022-24 and then to 2025.
