To limit the risk, please make backup copies of the XML file prior to editing them, so if needed,
you can return Navisworks back to working state.
Text Fields
The easiest way to create another data field in quantification is to find a similar field, duplicate
the code in the file and change the name of the copied text. In this tutorial, the Description1 will
be duplicated to create a LOD field.
Copy and paste the text below.
And change it to
Repeating the same copy, paste and renaming process as above to the following locations below
And again
When a new project is created in Navisworks, an LOD field is now available to enter information
in with each object on the Quantification Workbook. If you plan on using the new field with a
catalog that has been exported, an additional step needs to be taken. This step is outlined below
under the heading of Prepping Catalog to be used on a New Project.

Exporting a Catalog
If you have been using a catalog in Navisworks and have made customizations to the catalog
that you would like to reuse the changes to the catalog, you can export the catalog by doing the
following:
On the Quantification Workbook, at the top right of the window, select
Import/Export Catalogs and export Quantities tool.
Then select Export Catalog to XML.
Browse to the location that you would like to save the catalog and save the catalog.
When a new project is created in Navisworks and you want to use the exported catalog do the
following.
Press the Project Setup button on the Quantification Workbook.
On the first screen of the setup, select Browse to a Catalog and then press the Browse
button.
Now browse to the location of the exported catalog.
A couple of limitations that exist with this process.
If you create any custom fields as described above after the catalog, these fields will not
be in the catalog. A work around for this is below in the Prepping Catalog to be used
on New Projects section below.
Custom Mappings are not exported. Custom Mappings need to be created for each
project.
Now, completely delete the <ConfigFile> section to look like the image below.
Open Navisworks, create a new project and setup a new Quantification Workbook using the
edited catalog. Now any additional fields that have been added will be incorporated into the
catalog and you will be able to go through all the setup screens for the project.
