Build & Setup

Requirements: .NET Framework 4.8, Navisworks Manage 2022–2026. Open the project in Visual Studio, build the solution, and the post-build script automatically registers the bundle to %AppData%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\RUKNBIM.ElementID.bundle\. Ensure Autodesk Navisworks is closed before building to avoid file-lock errors during copy.

Creating the Installer (.exe)

The project contains an Inno Setup script (setup.iss) to compile a single-file executable installer. Install Inno Setup Compiler, open setup.iss, press F9 to build — the generated installer Rukn.ElementID.Setup.exe will be saved under the Output/ directory, ready to share.

System Requirements

  • Autodesk Navisworks 2022–2026
