Close Files on Open Indicates whether NWC file created for the model is
closed once it has been loaded into memory.
Selecting this option unlocks NWC files for editing by other users.
Max Image Texture Size Specifies the maximum size for texture images in
pixels.
The higher the value, the higher the load on your graphics card, as more MB
in memory is required to render textures.
Revit File Exporter
Autodesk Navisworks cannot read native Revit files directly. Use the file
exporter to save your files in NWC format, which can be open in Autodesk
Navisworks.
The file exporter is available for Revit versions 9.0 to 2012.
