Navisworks MCP

Upload a Navisworks file (.nwd/.nwf/.nwc) to Autodesk Platform Services (APS) Object Storage and start an SVF2 translation job so the model becomes queryable by the other nwd_* tools. When to use: at the start of a coordination workflow — e.g. the GC hands off a federated NWD combining MEP + structural + architectural models and the agent needs to stage it for clash review before issuing an RFI,

Detect geometric/logical clashes between two element sets in an already-translated Navisworks model. Uses APS Model Derivative property extraction + same-level proximity heuristics, optionally augmented by VDC rules stored in D1 (table vdc_rules). When to use: when coordinating federated MEP + structural + architectural models for clash review before issuing an RFI; e.g. "find duct vs. beam clash

Build a coordination report for a translated Navisworks model: translation status/progress, derivative outputs, available views (2D sheets / 3D viewables), total element count, and a per-category element breakdown. Doubles as the canonical way to poll translation status after nwd_upload. When to use: after nwd_upload to check whether translation has completed before calling clash/object tools; at

List saved viewpoints / camera positions and top-level view containers for a translated Navisworks model. Pulls the metadata view list and enriches each 3D view with its first two levels of the object tree (viewpoint folders typically live there in NWD files). When to use: when preparing a coordination meeting and you need a quick index of every saved viewpoint (e.g. "Level 3 Mech Room", "Clash -

List elements (objects) in the translated Navisworks model with their objectid, name, externalId, and full property bag, optionally filtered by a case-insensitive keyword matched against name and Category. When to use: when answering "how many VAV boxes are on Level 3?", "list every steel column with mark C-*", or any per-element question; when dumping a quick takeoff of a discipline before handi
