AutoCAD .nwc Exporter Options
Available from the NavisWorks menu, or by typing nwopt at the command prompt, this enables you to
configure various elements of the exported file to your choosing.
See “ DWG and DXF File Reader Options ” for details on what each of the options does.
Once you have set the options, future exports of .nwc and publishes of .nwd files will use these settings.
Revit .nwc Exporter
Autodesk NavisWorks Simulate 2009 cannot read native Revit files directly, however, support for both
Revit Building and Revit Structures can be achieved through exporting a NavisWorks .nwc cache file,
which can then be read into NavisWorks.
Note:
Earlier versions of Revit (Building 8 / Structures 2) require the .NET Framework version 1.1 to be
separately installed. If the .Net Framework version 1.1 is not installed an error message will be
displayed when Revit is started. You can download a copy of the .Net Framework version 1.1 by
searching for ".Net Framework version 1.1 redistributable package" in the downloads section of
Microsoft's website.
Exporting .nwc files from Revit:
1. Start Revit and load the project.
2. Set the editing view to normal, and make sure the Modify tool is selected.
3. Select the Tools > External Tools > Autodesk NavisWorks Simulate 2009 menu option. If this
option is not available, check firstly that the Modify tool is selected, and secondly that the Revit
license is correct such that the product is not being used in Demo/Viewer mode.
A file selection dialog box is displayed.
