Pentagon Solutions Launches Free App to Streamline Model Management in Autodesk Navisworks
16th Oct 2024
A one-click solution to improve model performance and boost efficiency by removing surplus viewpoints in federated models.
Pentagon Solutions has developed a new solution for professionals working with multi-trade federated models in Autodesk Navisworks. The app, Pentagon Remove All Viewpoints, is designed to tackle a common challenge faced by users: managing surplus viewpoints that accumulate over time and affect model performance.
In a typical workflow, manually removing these viewpoints one by one is time-consuming, especially when dealing with large, complex federations. Pentagon’s new tool eliminates this pain point, offering a simple, one-click solution that removes all surplus viewpoints and their folders instantly. This free app, developed by Pentagon’s in-house team, aims to improve model performance while saving valuable time for users.
Addressing a Common Issue
Federated models are essential in coordinating work across multiple trades in sectors like construction, engineering, and infrastructure. However, as the model increases, they can become bogged down with surplus viewpoints, leading to slow performance and increased frustration. Manually clearing these unnecessary viewpoints requires patience and must be repeated for every federation—a time-consuming task that can delay project progress.
Pentagon Remove All Viewpoints addresses this problem by automating the entire process. Users can now remove all viewpoints and their associated folders in seconds, ensuring a smoother workflow and more efficient project management.
