Viewpoints Files Viewpoints can be imported into Autodesk Navisworks via an .xml file, enabling you to bring viewpoints into the current scene from another model file. For example, if you are working on different versions of the same model, you can save viewpoints in one version of the file, export them and then import them into the other version. See "Save Viewpoints" on page 240 for more information on saving viewpoints, and "Export Viewpoints Files" on page 268 for more information on exporting viewpoints to an .xml file. To import viewpoints and associated data 1 Click File ➤ Import ➤ Viewpoints XML. 2 In the Import dialog box, locate the desired viewpoints .xml file. 3 Click Open. Search Criteria Files Search criteria can be imported into Autodesk Navisworks. This will populate the Find Items window. The search can then be run on the current model, finding any items that match the specific criteria. See "Find Items Window" on page 186 for more information on searching the model for items based on their properties. To import saved search criteria 1 Click File ➤ Import ➤ Search XML. 2 In the Import dialog box, locate the desired search .xml file. 262 | Chapter 12 Share Data
