Complex Models
You can use Navisworks files to build complex models.
When you bring files from different sources into the same scene, Autodesk Navisworks automatically aligns
rotation and origin of models, and rescales the units in each file to match
display units.
If the rotation, origin, or file units are incorrect for the scene, you can manually adjust them for each of the
opened files.
Append Files
To add more models to an existing scene, you need to append model files.
NOTE If you try to drag and drop files directly into the Selection Tree window or to use the Open dialog box, you will
create a new Navisworks file instead.
To append model files
1 Open a Navisworks file.
2 Click Home tab ➤ Project panel ➤ Append
.
3 In the Append dialog box, use the Files of Type box to select the appropriate file type, and navigate to the
folder where the files you want to add is located.
4 Select the required files, and click Open.
TIP To select multiple files, use SHIFT and CTRL keys.
