Previously, we told about how to map Forge Viewer camera state into Revit. In the blog, I provided an approach to achieve the goal and looks great. Now you might ask how about the Navisworks. Therefore, here are tips for you! Let's get started right away!

Then, view these files with Navisworks ® Freedom viewer software. NWD files viewed with Navisworks Freedom give stakeholders equal access to explore and experience whole projects. The Navisworks Freedom free download creates compressed, more secure NWD format files. A practical solution to streaming large CAD models, NWD files require no model. Autodesk online viewer. View 2D and 3D designs in 50+ file formats, right in your browser. Upload and view DWG™, RVT, and IPT files, as well as files from SOLIDWORKS, ProE, CATIA, and others. Sign up for a free account. Go to online viewer.

For achieving the same goal in Navisoworks, we need to obtain the Forge Viewer camera state, too. But it's much simpler than the Revit approach. In this case, we need these parameters the eye, target, up and globalOffset only. So the steps for Viewer is simplified to:

Obtain target, position and up vector from the Viewer camera of the current view:
- Call Viewer3D#getState({ viewport: true })to obtain necessary camera state of current view, for example:
Obtain the global offset of the currently loaded model
- Call viewer.model.getData().globalOffset for the value, for example:
This time we don't subtract the globalOffset from target and position of the Viewer camera in this example, but you can do the same thing as the Revit approach here if you would like to. (Note. This will affect the last step of the Navisworks part)

Ok, now we got every necessary parameter we needed. Let's continue the Navisworks part:

In this part, we will take advantage of Navisworks's current viewpoint.
Here is the code snippet that is written in Naisworks .NET SDK:
If you subtracted the globalOffset from target and position of the Viewer camera in the step3 of the Viewer part, the offset of the above code example should be changed to ( 0, 0, 0 ):

Here is an example project of the Navisworks plugin(https://github.com/yiskang/forge-navisworks-viewpoint-switchback-plugin) and the demo video:

Enjoy and hope it helps, cheers!

The saved viewpoints of Navisworks enables you to manage different views of your model so that you can jump to preset viewpoints without having to navigate each time to reach an item. In the past, Forge Model Derivative API did not translate these information, so we had to dump the information by Navisworks API in plugin to a dataset (xml whatever), then load them and convert to the camera objects of Forge Viewer.

Now, Model Derivative API has translated the data of saved viewpoints, and Forge Viewer provides the APIs to get those presets cameras. They are stored at:

Then, you can switch current view to that of the predefined saved viewpoint:

https://viewer.autodesk.com/ provides the panel of saved viewpoints category, yet under Sheet category.
