ArchiCAD File Exporter
Autodesk Navisworks cannot read native ArchiCAD 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 ArchiCAD v9 through to v13.
The export add-on for ArchiCAD is available from both the 2D and 3D
windows. All standard ArchiCAD elements and library parts can be exported
provided they have a 3D representation, and any others are ignored.The file
exporter saves both standard materials and custom GDL script materials.
