appearance of objects in Publisher matches the appearance of a MicroStation
shaded render.

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 Autodesk
Navisworks.
The file exporter is available for Viz versions 2007 and 2008 and Max versions
from 8 to 2012.
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.
