Selection Sets vs Search Sets in Navisworks 🛠️

Not sure when to use a Selection Set vs a Search Set in Navisworks? This video breaks it down clearly.

Selection Sets are static — you manually pick objects and save them as a group. They won't update if the model changes.

Search Sets are dynamic — they save search rules (like material, layer, or property), not the objects themselves. When the model changes, the set updates automatically.

In this video you'll learn:
• What makes Selection Sets and Search Sets different
• How to create a Selection Set using the Select Tool and Selection Sets panel
• How to create a Search Set using the Find Items tool with custom criteria

Wait for Part 2 to see how both sets react when the Revit model is updated.
