Split by Color Compound objects can be split into parts based on their color. Select this check box if you want
to use this functionality.
For example, a window object from Architectural Desktop can be split into a frame and a pane. If this check box
is clear, you can only select the window object as a whole, whereas if you select this check box, you can select
the individual pane and frame.
NOTE Autodesk Navisworks names parts of compound objects after their color.
Use ADT Standard Configuration Select this check box to convert geometry and materials in DWG files using
the Standard display configuration.
Clear this check box to convert geometry and materials accordingly to whether they are displayed in the currently
saved display configuration.

Revit Page
This page enables you to adjust the NWC export options for the Revit file exporter.
Convert Element Ids Select this check box to export the ID numbers for each Revit element.
When this check box is clear, the file exporter ignores IDs.
Convert Element Parameters Specifies how Revit parameters are read. Select from the following options:
■ None - the file exporter does not convert parameters.
■ Elements - the file exporter converts parameters for all found elements.
■ All - the file exporter converts parameters for all found elements, including the referenced elements. As a
result, extra property tabs are available in Autodesk Navisworks.
Export Specifies how geometry is exported. Select from the following options:
■ Entire Project - all geometry in the project is exported.
■ Current View - everything that is currently visible is exported.
■ Selection - only the currently selected geometry is exported.
Try and Find Missing Materials When this check box is selected (the default option), the file exporter looks
for a match for the materials missing from the export.
NOTE If any inappropriate materials are applied to the model geometry as a result, clear this check box to fix the
problem.
World Units Selects the type of units Autodesk Navisworks uses to open the exported NWC files.
NOTE To adjust the units in Autodesk Navisworks, use the File Units and Transform option.
