# Excel Configuration

The following steps will show you how to set up an Export configuration to export your model data to Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

# STEP 1:

Go to General Configuration tab in the iConstruct menu and click Export Configuration button.

# STEP 2:

Create a new Template by clicking the + button and name it.

# STEP 3:

Select an item in the background and click Refresh Properties to pull in the data

# STEP 4:

Select Export Type from the drop-down menu.

# STEP 5:

Define if you want to export the data from the Item or Group level or both.

# Additional options:

Disable Recursion: When disabled will process selected paths only. If not selected, it will process items under and inside the selected items in the tree.

Force text: Force to text ignores the ‘data type’ of the property in Navisworks and exports everything as ‘Text’. This can fix some issues where Navisworks reports a property as one type and then some items have that property as another type.

Ignore items within inserts: Disregards matching data if below insert or block level.

# STEP 6:

Define a location you want to save the export.

# STEP 7:

Select the properties you want to export by selecting the tab or individual item.

# STEP 8:

Save the template. Run the configuration directly or Close the dialogue if you choose to run the template later.
