Spools to search sets

Model fabrication in the field is aided by search sets made up of some tools. Within Navisworks, spool names must be located in a property in order for this workflow to work. This spool does not belong to Navisworks. Using Spool Name, where you can determine your notes, the fabrication MEP workflow is the same, whether you are using Revit or one of the Autodesk products. A model is skimmed by spooling it into search sets, in order to find unique property values. Alternatively, users can select a comprehensive selection or an entire model.
