Autodesk Navisworks Feature Representation

Common Attributes

The following attributes are common to all features.

Attribute Name	Content
GUID	The GUID for the instance data referred to by this element.
Hidden	If the model element is hidden from display.
Icon	One of the icons representing the element within the hierarchy.
Name	User-supplied name for the element.

Property and Quantity Sets as Attributes

FME will read property and quantity set values associated with Navisworks elements as attributes on the features that represent those elements. These attributes will take the form <PropertySetName>.<PropertyName>.

In the case of duplicate property names belonging to the same property set, FME will create a list attribute where each entry is one value of the property.

There may be property and quantity sets at each level of the Navisworks hierarchy for elements. FME will traverse the Hierarchy and read these property and quantity set values from all parent elements onto features until it reaches a File or Layer. Attribute collisions will give priority to the property and quantity set values that are lower in the hierarchy.
