Use File Exporters
Autodesk Navisworks provides file exporters to create native Autodesk
Navisworks files directly in CAD applications.

ArchiCAD, and Viz/Max applications.
You can use file exporters:
If Autodesk Navisworks cannot read the native CAD file format. Currently,
the following native file formats are not supported: VIZ, MAX, ArchiCAD,
Revit.
If Autodesk Navisworks has converted the native CAD file, but some
geometry is missing, for example, and you want to improve the file quality.
AutoCAD File Exporter
Autodesk Navisworks comes with ARX plugins for any AutoCAD
based
product, such as Architectural Desktop
, and enables you to export files into
NWC file format.
The file exporter is available for any AutoCAD-based product between AutoCAD
2004 and 2012 releases.
NOTE If you installed the Autodesk Navisworks software with exporter plugins,
and you install any AutoCAD-based software after Autodesk Navisworks is installed,
you need to update your exporter plugins installation with the appropriate ARX
plugins before you can use them.
