To export an FBX file
1 In Autodesk Navisworks application, click Output tab ➤ Export Scene panel ➤ FBX
.
2 In the FBX Options dialog box, select the Enable check box in the Polygon Limiting area to restrict the
amount of geometry exported into the output file.
Geometry is selected on the basis of taking the most obvious objects in preference to the fine detail. If the
exported file is too large, try enabling this feature and reducing the number of polygons. Clicking the Home
tab, sliding out the Project panel, and clicking Scene Statistics
in Autodesk Navisworks shows the
number of triangles and lines in the current project. By setting a polygon limit you are choosing to export
only some of these items.
