While I'm sure this is an issue on my modeler's end, I'm experiencing the ramifications in Navisworks so am asking here.
Our fire protection subcontractor is modeling in (I believe) AutoCAD 2010. Every single time he gives me a new model, every single element is new. Which means that all of the clashes with fire protection show up outside of the groups I had previously created, and all of those groups show up as resolved. I then have to go around trying to push everything back into the group from whence it came in order to retain the comments and assignments, and once I purge resolved the comments vanish anyway. I'm assuming this is because every model he gives me has a whole new collection of model element IDs.
Is there some better way to do this in Navisworks? Something I can tell him to do on his end to make this stop happening? Currently he's sending me his own NWC file, would having him send me the DWG help? I have 20 floors to go on a very complex coordination and I can't keep doing this every single time.
