When downloading, a ZIP file is downloaded, which must first be unpacked. It is recommended to save this file in the Application-Plugins folder of Navisworks. Example path:

C:\Users\hans.muster\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins

In order for the "AppData" folder from the example paths to be displayed, the "Hidden elements" option must be activated in the Explorer.

It is important that the ".addin" file and the folder contained in the ZIP file are first unpacked and then saved in the application plugins folder.

Navisworks can then be started and buildagil opened via the menu bar.

As the role is still being introduced and can therefore be used buildagil in Navisworks, the Preview version must be activated.
