That will be technical (how-to) solutions derived from answering questions from ADN partners and from Autodesk forum users, sample projects, white papers, screencasts, conference presentation material, and other information derived from our work. This blog is a vehicle to quickly put lots of information in one place so you can easily find what you need to solve your programming problems. Don’t expect poetry and prose – just good, old-fashioned hard facts.</span></div></span><div style="text-align:left;"><br></div><span style="font-size:16.8px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:16.8px;">Every member of the DevTech team will be posting information here – and lots of it. Follow us on Twitter, RSS, or just visit us when you need to browse or search for specific information. You’re very welcome to post additional information on topics or ask questions in the comments section for any blog post you’re interested in.</span></div></span><p></p><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:16.8px;">Much of the code posted here is derived from answers to questions from our ADN members, and has not been formally reviewed by a QA engineer. That means it will often be derived from existing sample code and could contain some code elements that are superfluous to the task in hand.

Some file formats don’t have any per objects ids, some have ids but they aren’t stable (edit the file in some unrelated way and the ids change). Most of these ids are only unique within a file. Whatever ids are there show up as object properties which are different depending on format – Entity Handle for Autocad, Element Id for Revit, etc.</p><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:10px;">In addition Navisworks has support for a per object GUID which is a stable, globally unique id for an object:&nbsp;<strong>ModelItem.InstanceGuid</strong>. GUIDs exist for file formats which directly support GUIDs (e.g. IFC) and for some file formats where we can generate stable, globally unique ids based on the file format specific ids. This includes AutoCAD and Revit but not Catia, PDMS or Integraph. So, for such file formats:&nbsp; you&nbsp;would have to rely on custom properties that the creator of the design file has setup.</p><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:10px;">The below is a demo of IFC file:</p><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:10px;"><a href="https://adndevblog.typepad.com/.a/6a0167607c2431970b022ad378740b200c-pi"><img alt="Screen Shot 2018-11-07 at 10.49.26 AM" border="0" src="https://adndevblog.typepad.com/.a/6a0167607c2431970b022ad378740b200c-800wi" title="Screen Shot 2018-11-07 at 10.49.26 AM"></a></p></div></div><div><p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:5px;"><span>Posted at 08:17 PM in&nbsp;<a href="https://adndevblog.typepad.com/aec/net/">.NET</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://adndevblog.typepad.com/aec/navisworks/">Navisworks</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://adndevblog.typepad.com/aec/xiaodong-liang/">Xiaodong Liang</a>&nbsp;|</span>&nbsp;<a href="https://adndevblog.typepad.com/aec/2018/07/persistent-item-id-of-navisworks-objects-update.html">Permalink</a>&nbsp;<span>|</span>&nbsp;<a href="https://adndevblog.typepad.com/aec/2018/07/persistent-item-id-of-navisworks-objects-update.html#comments">Comments (3)</a></p></div></div></div></div></div></div>
