Release news Naviate for Revit

Naviate Rebar September Release 2025

Release news for Naviate Rebar. Highlights includes new download from MySymetri and the new feature Rebar Collision.

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 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.
