Revit to Navisworks Export Settings: A Guide

When it comes to exporting Revit models or specific 3D views to Navisworks NWC files, it can be a time-consuming and tedious process. However, with the right tools and settings, you can streamline this process and save valuable time.

One such tool is Free NavisExport for Revit, a free add-in that allows you to batch export Revit models or specific 3D views to Navisworks NWC files. This powerful add-in provides a simple user interface that makes it easy to select the models to be exported, whether they are in the same directory or separate directories, or even hosted on BIM 360 Design.

Once you have selected the models and output folder, you can customize the export options using the checkboxes provided in the user interface. For example, you can specify whether to export linked models, convert element properties or materials, and more.

One of the key benefits of Free NavisExport for Revit is its ability to notify you when the entire process is complete. In case of failure, the file will be highlighted in red, while every file being processed will be highlighted in blue. After the export operation completes successfully, the file will be highlighted in green.

You can also select all 3D views by leaving the textbox empty, or specify individual 3D views to be exported across several models based on a view name keyword. This flexibility makes it easy to customize your exports to meet your specific needs.

In addition to its ease of use and customization options, Free NavisExport for Revit also requires Autodesk Navisworks Manage or the Navisworks NWC Export Utility to be installed, ensuring that you have everything you need to get started.

Overall, Free NavisExport for Revit is a powerful tool that can help streamline your workflow and save time when exporting Revit models or specific 3D views to Navisworks NWC files. With its simple user interface and customizable export options, it's an essential add-in for any Revit user.
