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.

New! Rebar Collision

Check for collisions (clashes) between rebars in the structural elements. Use Rebar Collision tool to detect any clashes between reinforcement bars and ensure rebars are correctly placed and distributed in the structure.

The main features of Rebar Collision are:

• You can check for collision either on preselected structural elements with reinforcement or directly on the selected reinforcement elements themselves.
• Colliding rebars are selected/highlighted in the view and listed in the Rebar Collision report.
• You can double-click a row in the report to zoom to related colliding elements.

• You can define a tolerance value, the minimum overlap length between rebars that will be recognized as a collision.
• You can define the minimum size of bar diameter. Bars of smaller diameters will be excluded from the analysis for collision.

• Rebars that collide have value "colliding" for the NVRebarCollision parameter, while those without clashes are marked as "not colliding."
• The NVRebarCollisionIncidences parameter allows you to identify the specific rebars within a set that are colliding.

Tip! Use NVRebarCollision parameter with the Color Rebar feature to easily identify colliding and non-colliding rebars in the view.

Check for updates

Get notified if there are newer versions available for download. When Naviate 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.

Updated Symetri login

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

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.

The process to create licenses for offline use has changed. You can now generate license files and copy to computers with no or limited access to internet. You can use the Symetri License Toolbox application to help generate and deploy the offline license or manually generate a license file from My Symetri and copy it to the correct location.

The Symetri License Toolbox can be downloaded from My Symetri if you have access to Applications.

Copy the downloaded application to the computer that should have the offline license and start it.

Goto Computer Info tab. Scan the QR-code by using the camera on a mobile device if the computer isn’t connected to internet or click on “Open in Browser” to generate a license file for the Domain & User shown in the dialog box. This will direct you to the Generate license file tool in My Symetri.

Instead of using the License Toolbox application you can click on Generate License file in My Symetri if you have rights to manage licenses. This will get you to the same dialog box as the License Toolbox, but you need to manually enter Domain and Username that should be used for the offline license.

NOTE! Use capital letters when entering the Domain name.

Select which licenses that you want to generate licenses files for and click on Generate on the last page. A zip-file containing the licenses files is generated and downloaded by the browser. Copy the .zip file to the offline computer.

If you are using the Symetri License Toolbox application, you can go to License Files tab and click on Add New License File. Choose to see .zip files and select the downloaded license file.

If you don’t use the License Toolbox you can manually extract the included license files from the downloaded .zip file and copy them to the %appdata% \Symetri\Licensing \Cache folder on the machine you want to use off-line when you are logged in as the user specified when creating the license file.
