Customize the DGN File Exporter Options

The file exporter only exports from 3D DGN files - 2D files are not supported.

Navisworks colors are derived from either MicroStation cell colors or MicroStation materials, depending on the

chosen export options. The appearance of objects in Publisher matches the appearance of a MicroStation shaded

render.

To adjust the options for the DGN file exporter

2 Type nwopt, and press Enter.

3 Expand the File Exporters node in the Options Editor, and click the DGN page. Use the options on this page

to adjust the settings for future exports of NWC files from MicroStation.

4 Click OK to save the changes.

Viz and Max File Exporter

Autodesk Navisworks cannot read native Viz/Max files directly. Use the file exporter to save your files in NWC

format, which can be open in Navisworks.

The file exporter is available for Viz versions 4 to 2008 and Max versions from 5 to 2010.

NOTE If you installed the Autodesk Navisworks software with exporter plugins, and you install Viz or Max software

after Autodesk Navisworks is installed, you need to update your exporter plugins installation with the appropriate ARX

plugins before you can use them.
