ExtensionFormat
.3ds, .prjv3D Studio
IMPORTANT The DWG/DXF/SAT file formats are supported when you run the 64-bit version of Autodesk Navisworks
on a 64-bit version of Windows, or when you run the 32-bit version of Autodesk Navisworks on a 32-bit version of
Windows. They are not supported when you run the 32-bit Autodesk Navisworks on a 64-bit version of Windows.
Supported Laser Scan File Formats
See the following table for the laser scan file formats you can open in Autodesk Navisworks.
ExtensionFormat
.asc, .txtASCII Laser File
.fls, .fws, .iQscan, .iQmod, .iQwspFaro
.pts, .ptxLeica
.3ddRiegl
.zfc, .zfsZ+F
NOTE Native Trimble file format is NOT supported. To open your file in Autodesk Navisworks, convert it into ASCII
laser file format first.
Use File Readers
Autodesk Navisworks provides file readers to support a variety of CAD file formats and laser scan file formats.
When you open a CAD file in Autodesk Navisworks, an appropriate file reader is automatically used. If necessary,
you can adjust the default file reader settings to improve the conversion quality.
3DS File Reader
3DS is a common file format supported by many CAD applications.
The Autodesk Navisworks file reader reads all 2D and 3D geometry, as well as texture maps. The hierarchy defined
by the keyframe data from keyframe 0 is preserved, including instancing. Entities are positioned based on keyframe
0.
Supported Entities
■ All 2D and 3D geometry
■ Cameras
■ Groups
■ Texture maps in the formats: 8-bit color-mapped, 16-bit and 24-bit true color, uncompressed or Run Length
Encoded .tga, .bmp, .jpg, .lwi (LightWork Image).
NOTE Textures from 3DS files come through as Presenter materials, though you should bear in mind that 3DS
files contain file names in the 8.3 DOS format only and that various formats are not yet supported in Presenter.
■ Colors (from material color, not wireframe color - ambient, diffuse, shininess, transparency and self
illumination).
