Release news Naviate for Revit

Naviate January Hotfix 2023-1-14

Hotfixes for Naviate 2023: Addin compability.

Addins compability

Resolved problem using Naviate with other add-ins.

Previous updates of Naviate (23.1.13) included a version of a common dll file that could cause problems with other add-ins such as:

  • Interaxo BIM Data / BimEye (mainly on Revit 2023 and 2024)
  • PyRevit (mainly on Revit 2023 and 2024)

These were the typical problems

  • Naviate Ribbon was completely greyed out except for Help even though you had an active license

  • Naviate New Project didn’t show any Naviate templates

  • Custom Families in Electrical didn’t show any 2D families from cloud

This hotfix includes a newer version of the common dll (System.Text.Json.dll) which has been tested to work well with many other add-ins.

NOTE! Other add-ins loaded before Naviate might load another version of a common dll that can cause issues. Add-ins loaded after Naviate might stop working if they don’t support the loaded version of the common dll. Changing the order that Revit loads add-ins can be a way to solve those issues. Revit load the add-ins in alphabetical order of the .addin files.
