Insight before design. Naviate BioScore

Naviate solution by Symetri 2026-07-10 | Daylight. Sound. Space. Nature. These shape how people feel every single day. They are decided early. Yet we accept not understanding their impact until it's too late. That's not intuition. That's a gap in early insight. We already optimize. Just not for what people actually experience.

What if insight came first?

Naviate for Revit 26.4 installer

Naviate solution by Symetri 2026-07-06 | Naviate Multi-version installer support (2025–2027)

Starting with Revit 2027, a single MSI handles the installation of Naviate applications across Revit 2025, 2026, and 2027. Multi-version installer replaces the previous per-version installers and simplifies deployment across different Revit versions. This means you no longer need to manage separate installers for each Revit version, reducing the overhead of keeping multiple versions up to date.

Please note:
When using the multi-version installer, all installed Naviate applications must share the same version number across Revit versions. Installing different versions of a Naviate application across Revit 2025, 2026, and 2027 is not supported in this setup.

Naviate Assistant - Actions

Naviate solution by Symetri 2026-06-01 | Naviate Assistant Actions enables users to run individual or chained Naviate actions directly on the model, helping automate repetitive tasks and streamline common workflows in Revit. By combining multiple actions into a single guided process, users can work more efficiently, reduce manual effort, and achieve more consistent results across their projects.

The video demonstrates how Actions can be used in practice to perform model updates quickly and accurately through automated workflows.

In this example, the workflow automatically dimensions all grids, identifies all rooms named “shaft,” and then renames them to “Service” using the Find and Replace actions. This shows how users can make multiple model adjustments in a single sequence, saving time and improving consistency.

Naviate Civil 3D webinar - Property Data Management with Naviate Base

Naviate solution by Symetri 2025-11-17 | With Property Set Data you can store any kind of data on any kind of object in Civil 3D. The data can then be used to quantify your model, to store project information on the objects, and as a base for exporting information to IFC 4.3.

Naviate Bases suite of tools around managing your Property Set Data has been updated to include several verification tools to find objects with no data och faulty data. We can report the results either in the drawing or to an external report, and this can be done on multiple drawings.

In this webinar recording you can take a closer look at how the Naviate tools work together to create, import, apply and verify property data on any type of objects in Civil 3D.
- Create, Import and Update Property Set
- Apply, Match and Export Property data
- Find objects with faulty properties
- Labels and tables to display data in the drawing

Go beyound the cloud with Naviate Nebula. Recorded webinar.

Naviate solution by Symetri 2025-07-18 | 🚀 Catch the full recording of Naviate Nebula: Go Beyond the Cloud. The webinar is a deep dive into how to master data ownership, automate cloud workflows, and secure your project files across Autodesk Construction Cloud and BIM 360.

🔍 What you'll learn:
* Why data ownership matters more than ever in AEC projects
* How to automate deliveries, backups, and migrations with Naviate Nebula
* Live demo of real-world use cases and time-saving workflows
* Expert answers to FAQs on backups, metadata, and project security

#AEC #BIM360 #ACC #DataManagement #Naviate #ConstructionTech #WebinarReplay

Timestamps:

Introduction to Cloud and Data Management
0:01–2:30 Data Ownership in the Cloud: Introduced key challenges in cloud-based AEC workflows, focusing on unclear data ownership during project handovers and disputes (e.g., contractor loses invoice payments due to lack of documentation).
3:00–5:00 Optimizing Live Collaboration: Highlighted the value of Autodesk Construction Cloud for real-time model collaboration, live design updates, and reducing manual administrative work like PDF-based meeting follow-ups.
5:00–14:00 Security & Compliance Gaps: Stressed the growing need for both system-level and human-level security compliance in tenders, including training staff and tracking access to sensitive project files.

Live demo of Naviate Nebula
15:06 Introduction to Naviate Nebula: Described as a cloud-to-cloud synchronization tool for Autodesk platforms (ACC ↔ ACC, BIM 360 ↔ ACC), supporting file transfers with full version and metadata control.
17:42 Deliveries Automation: Demonstrated how Nebula automates repetitive file deliveries across regions (e.g., Europe → US), including Revit file publishing before transfer to avoid missing versions.
21:52 Project Migrations: Showed how entire projects or specific folders can be migrated from BIM 360 to ACC, with optional transfer of file versions and custom attributes.
26:28 Data Consolidation: Used Nebula to merge folders from multiple projects into one centralized hub for owner handover or archival purposes, preserving all folder structures and metadata.
33:34 Scheduled Backups: Created a recurring daily backup process of selected project folders to a secure location using Nebula, ensuring ownership and compliance with insurance or contract requirements.
36:28 Transfer Validation & Logs: Illustrated how Nebula provides Excel-based logs confirming successful transfers and attribute preservation, which is not possible with built-in ACC tools.
39:42 Comparison with ACC Bridge: Clarified that unlike ACC Bridge, Nebula allows for inter-region transfers, scheduled jobs, and full version history validation—making it more robust and flexible.

Q&A
44:16 If an architect works from RIBA Stage 1–6, should they own the data, or should contractors take ownership during construction?
46:46 Can Nebula transfer assets, issues, and checklists between hubs?
48:38 How does Nebula support real-time workflows with live Revit models?
50:23 Are there limitations in transferring attributes or custom attributes between BIM 360 and ACC?
51:02 Can Nebula back up ACC data to an offsite or offline local location?
52:23 Can I use Nebula on any ACC or BIM 360 hub I have access to, even if it's external?
53:09 What happens to project data if Autodesk enters administration—will the cloud data be secure?
