Learn how to use Fuzor plugins built into other software to import and sync your projects.

This Section demonstrates using the Launch Fuzor 2020 Virtual Design Construction Plugin to create a live update link between Fuzor and Revit.
Fuzor currently supports Revit 2019–2023. If the Fuzor Plugin was installed properly you should see a Fuzor Plugin tab. | |||||||

...
The Fuzor Revit Document Manager controls how your file is imported. From this menu you can select which files are opened in Fuzor. It is important to use the Fuzor Revit Document manager when you want precise control over how your Revit model is imported. The drop down menu underneath your document name specifies what Revit Views are imported. | |||||||
The Detail Level drop down menu controls how rigorously the Fuzor file is generated. A Fine detail setting is very precise however it will take longer to load. For lower end computers use the Coarse detail setting. The Coordinates drop down menu controls how the coordinate system is generated. Use the Shared option when using multiple files with locations in reference to a main Revit file. Use the Project Internal option to use a world coordinate that has been set in the Revit file.

You can also create a live link to Revit in Fuzor. The Edit button in the element properties window launches and automatically selects the associated object in Revit. When your project opens you will be prompted by the Fuzor Revit Document Manager. If there are any changes to either your Revit or Fuzor file selecting the Edit button opens the Merge dialog in Fuzor as well. For more information see Merge. | |||||||
The live update automatically syncs from Revit to Fuzor. To see this work, change the location of an object in Revit and move it. The changes you made in Revit are automatically synced over to Fuzor. |
Syncing Fuzor changes to Revit

Fuzor currently supports Navisworks 2019–2023. If the Fuzor Plugin is installed properly it appears under the Tool add-ins Tab in Navisworks. With the Navisworks Plugin updates are not live and you can only update from Navisworks to Fuzor. In order to Update you must select either Fuzor Plugin and then select merge in the popup in Fuzor. For more information on merging projects see Merge. | |||||||
The Fuzor Plugin button Syncs your currently opened file to Navisworks. | |||||||
The Fuzor Batch Sync opens a file browser for you to select multiple files to be converted into separate cache files. The Place QR button places a HoloLens QR Code in your file. For more information see HoloLens. | |||||||
The Launch Fuzor drop down menu selects the version of Fuzor to open your project with. The Model Name textbox specifies a model name for the file to be synced as. This must be constant between syncs in order for the files to merge properly. If syncing a composite model from Navisworks each file name can be managed separately. this allows the user to merge new versions of an appended model with a new name to overwrite an old one. The Sync Saved Views checkbox imports your Navisworks saved views over to Fuzor | |||||||
The Sync Lines checkbox ensures that 2D Lines on Geometry as well as Lines from any DWG are synced to Fuzor. The Properties show user unit checkbox toggles whether BIM properties use user set values or are automatically calculated. The Mergeable Objects checkbox ensures that object IDs are generated using merge-friendly Ids otherwise IDs are generated in sequential order. Syncing in sequential order is faster however objects may not be mergeable after a file is closed and reopened or edited. The Use IFC GUID checkbox ensures that GUIDs in IFCs imported into Navisworks are synced to Fuzor with the same IDs and not regenerated. This is needed to update GUIDs that are loaded into Navisworks from other software. By default, this is off to improve sync time. |
