Changes for Solving Data Conflicts between projects

Update of data storages for some tools to avoid conflicts when opening multiple projects created by different versions.

When using some of the tools in the application, the saved data connected to the tool will be updated to solve a possible “Data Conflict” issue. The update happens automatically without any notification the first time you change project specific data in an affected tool.

If you have access to Naviate Accelerate you can use the new Update Schema tool to update all affected extensible storages in your project in one go.

Important Note: To ensure data integrity, it is crucial that all users working on the affected projects are using the latest version of the application.

What's New Pop-up

What's New dialog box is not shown by default at Revit/Naviate startup for new installs.

When installing Naviate applications for the first time or after a complete uninstall of Naviate, the What’s New dialog box is turned off by default. The What’s New dialog box will not show up when Revit/Naviate is started unless you manually have turned it on.

Note! If you update Naviate by running the .msi files without first uninstalling the previously installed Naviate applications, the previous setting for What’s New (default on) is kept.

You can still access What’s New from Help menu to read about the new and improved features in last installed release.

When doing scripted install you can control if the if the What’s New dialog box should show at startup or not using the WHATSNEW parameter as before.

NEW! Tag from Template

Place tags efficiently across multiple Revit categories using a configurable template with predefined tag positions.

The Tag from Template feature ensures consistent and optimized tag placement by following templates with preferred positions for each family. Tags are automatically positioned in the best available locations, avoiding clashes or overlaps with other elements in the view.

In the Tag from Template configuration, you can select from existing templates stored in the Cloud or upload your Local templates:

Each template should include a tag family containing one or more tags with defined priorities to guide the tag placement process.

The Tag from Template tool will place the tag according to priority, starting with Priority 1. If that placement isn't possible, it will attempt Priority 2, and so on. If none of the priority levels work, the tool will move the tag linearly or along a defined vector direction to find a suitable position, avoiding overlaps and class conflicts.

You can configure tag priority and placement behaviour using type parameters assigned to the tag family:

• NV Priority: Defines the tag’s placement priority level.
• NVLinarTranslation or NVVectorTranslation: Determines how the tag should move linearly across the element or along a vector direction.
• NVVectorMoveTolerance: Specifies the distance from the element after which a leader line should be applied.
• NVTranslation: Enables the tag to follow the rotation of the element.

To create your template, download a Cloud Template that includes all required tag family parameters, make your modifications, and upload a new version using the Browse Template option as a local file. Alternatively, if you're starting a new project, click Create Shared Parameters to add all the required parameters to your tag families.

After selecting your desired templates, you can run the Tag from template tool directly from the Naviate S ribbon. All selected elements will be tagged. If no elements are selected, the tool will tag all applicable elements in the view based on the chosen templates:

It is possible to tag elements in Plan, Elevation and Section/Detail views using the corresponding template.

To maintain consistency across documentation, please ensure that elements within your template are tagged in only one supported view.

Fixes

• New Rebar Numbering (2024 & 2025): Fixed the issue where parameter values were displayed incorrectly when using imperial in combination with reinforcement rounding. All values in Rebar Numbering will show a yellow warning because the rounding method has changed (previous and current values remain unchanged). Please check if any changes have been made in the model; otherwise, all warnings can be cleared. Read the help documentation here.
• New Rebar Numbering (2024 & 2025): Export configuration is now saved at the level of the project. All users working on the same project have a single export configuration.
• New Rebar Numbering (2024 & 2025): Export to XML now supports letters in project numbers.
• Rebar Numbering (Norwegian version): Pictures for export to Excel are updated.
