CAD at last year’s Hawaii BIM Camp! In this short Tech Tip, we’ll share step-by-step instructions for exporting to Navisworks from Revit and Civil 3D.Īt some point during the project development phase, you may need to share your building files with other project team members who may be using software other than Revit or Civil 3D. The Navisworks Batch Utility will convert every Revit file to a NWC cache file, and made it a NWD on the run.This Tech Tip is adapted from a session presented by U.S. To do so, you just have to select the “Multiple file” tab and define a target folder for the export. I am also using this feature to create a NWD file for a set of Revit file. Here, I was confused by the fact that nothing seems to happen, but after checking my computer processes, I was able to see that the Navisworks Scene Convert Server was up and running.Īfter a while, Navisworks starts automatically and appends every previously created. We add a path to a log file in order to know what may happen, and hit “Run Command”. I also select “View file on output” to automatically start Navisworks when conversions are done. We get the results of our research as text file listing paths to every Revit model contained in our project folder: C:\Projects\myRevitProject\CENTRALS\ARC.rvt C:\Projects\myRevitProject\CENTRALS\MEP.rvt C:\Projects\myRevitProject\CENTRALS\STR.rvtīack on the Navisworks Batch Utility, we open this text file to import file paths: File -> Open -> Select ListRevitFiles.txtĪs we want to create a single Navisworks File Set (.nwf), we select the “As Single File” Tab, and set the path to our future Navisworks File.
/s : search in the current directory and all its subdirectories.dir : command for searching and displaying file in the current directory.This line requires a bit of an explanation: I was quite afraid of this tool not so long ago, but it is actually pretty simple.įirst, go to the root folder of your project: cd C:\Projects\myRevitProjectĪnd type : dir /s /b *. To quickly retrieve the list of Revit files to be converted, I’m using the Windows Command Prompt. You first have to select files to be included in your Navisworks File Set. I used the Navisworks Batch Utility, accessible through the Navisworks main menu: A few days ago, I had to convert a large set of Revit files to NWC in order to create a general Navisworks File Set.
