CADmep+ Pipe Slope in Navis?

[j_menacker]

Any tips on how to obtain CADmep+ (MAP Software) pipe slope in Navis would be greatly appreciated. I can open these files in AutoCAD and Navis with the object enabler installed but pipe slope is not readily found in either case.

Thanks much,

So let me get this straight... You can open the file in Autocad and the slope isn't there?? And it also isn't showing up in NavisWorks??

Sounds to me like an export problem with the CadMEP+ software.

It might also have to do with the version of NavisWorks you're using. CadMEP was a very recent acquisition by Autodesk and it may take a while to bring it into the family if it wasn't there before.

Paul:

Yes, all CADmep+ elements are visible and accounted for after installing the object enabler. There just isn't any property for pitch in AutoCAD or Navisworks. Both Acad and Navis are 2012 with current service packs.

Pipe slope is obviously available to the author. I don't have a copy of CADmep+ available to play with so am not sure what can be done to tranfer slope properties. The author is outside of London so it is a bit of a hike to stop by and chat about it.
