CHAPTER 2 Files and File Types
When adding files to the Batch utility, you can add the contents of the whole folder by select-
ing the Add File Spec button. This option will add all files from the folder depending on
which file type is selected from the File Type drop-down. If you want to choose specific files
from the project folder, highlight the individual files in the list and click the Add Files but-
ton. If you need to remove a specific file, highlight the file in the conversion list and click the
Remove Item button. Click Remove All to remove all files. Note that the removal action only
removes the files from the Batch utility and does not delete the files from their respective
storage locations.
Output The output area specifies where the completed file will be saved. In Navisworks,
you have two options for this output. The first, the As Single File tab, allows for a single file
to be saved to specific folder, as shown in Figure 2.22. This tab lets you save your file as an
NWD file, NWF file, or a file list (TXT).
The second tab allows you to save multiple design files as individual NWD files only.
Options for this output include saving to a specified folder or saving the NWD files to the
same directory as the original source data files (Figure 2.23).
