## Overview

Navisworks Lookup is an in-process Navisworks plugin for exploring application, document, view, selection, and clash data through snooping and search. Users launch a ribbon command, which creates a snoop view model and opens the inspection UI; the UI presents reflected objects and their members, with event subscription and clash-result lookup as additional capabilities. The README documents several snoop targets not individually traced here. Those subsystems are represented at their existing command-directory path; wiring beyond the sampled entry points is not asserted.

Main entry points: [`NavisAppInfo/View/AppInfoControl.cs`](https://github.com/chuongmep/navislookup/blob/dev/NavisAppInfo/View/AppInfoControl.cs) (Object inspector), [`NavisAppInfo/View/SearchByContains.xaml.cs`](https://github.com/chuongmep/navislookup/blob/dev/NavisAppInfo/View/SearchByContains.xaml.cs) (Search dialog), [`NavisAppInfo/ViewModel/AppInfoViewModel.cs`](https://github.com/chuongmep/navislookup/blob/dev/NavisAppInfo/ViewModel/AppInfoViewModel.cs) (Snoop state), [`NavisAppInfo/App.cs`](https://github.com/chuongmep/navislookup/blob/dev/NavisAppInfo/App.cs) (Ribbon plugin)
