Rapid Navis help

Created by Ankit Singhai. Support is provided through DDG.

Activation

Open Rapid Navis in Navisworks and choose Activate online with Autodesk. Use the same Autodesk account in the browser and Navisworks. The activation form displays that account's email and does not allow an alternate activation email. Phone/WhatsApp and company are optional. Analytics and product-email choices can be unchecked independently.

If activation is missing or does not match the current account, Rapid Navis prompts when you open the manager or request its protected workflow. Cancel to return to Navisworks. Sign into the matching account or complete online activation before using protected functions. A connection failure leaves your existing saved activation in place.

Move by Surface

Select the object or objects to move. Choose Move by Surface, then pick the reference face. Select the movement direction and Imperial or Metric. Enter feet and inches, or meters and centimeters; decimal and signed values are accepted. Each move is a displacement from the current position, not the original model position. The direction is based on the chosen surface and movement mode. Review the XYZ displacement in Movement History.

Use Navisworks Undo to reverse a committed move and Redo to apply it again. Cancel before confirming Move to leave the model unchanged. Movement History is session-only and clears when a new model opens.

Shortcuts and diagnostics

Commands and Bindings let you review and assign shortcuts. Setup provides activation, updates, shortcut suspension and diagnostics. The retired Shift-click/native-gizmo alignment workflow is no longer used. The separate Move by Surface command remains available.

Updating

Check for updates from Setup. Save your work, close Navisworks, and install an official published update using the same Windows user. Upgrading preserves local activation and shortcut settings; do not delete those files to update. Failed update checks do not disable existing activation.

Privacy choices and support

Disable optional usage reporting from Setup's activation controls to stop reporting and request deletion of stored usage events. If offline, retry withdrawal when connected. Contact Ankit Singhai through DDG Contact Us for product-email withdrawal, activation assistance, or privacy requests. Do not send model files unless support specifically requests them and you are authorized to share them.
