With the help of the Export NWC command, the Revit user can export multiple 3D views to Autodesk Navisworks Cash file format (.nwc) in one click.


Starting The Command

In Revit:

  • In the ribbon, navigate to the BIMrx tab >> BIMrx Core panel >> Export NWC command:
     
  • You will be presented with a dialog with options to select the 3D views to be exported along with the export path and the internal Navisworks exporter options:


Export NWC Dialog interface:

  1. Export Active 3D View toggle. If the active view is not a 3D view, the info panel will report that, and the Export button will be inactive.
  2. Export Selected 3D Views in The Project Browser toggle: If there are no selected 3D views in the project browser, the info panel will report that, and the Export button will be inactive.
  3. Export 3D views with names starting with a Prefix toggle: If there are no 3D views with names starting with the prefix defined in (4)  the info panel will report that, and the Export button will be inactive.

These are the same options found in the Navisworks Revit file reader options page (see Autodesk's Navisworks Help Documentation)
  9. The Export button will dismiss the dialog after exporting the selected views to the specified directory. The exported files will have the same names as the views. The selected options will be saved to the Revit model for easy retrieval.
  10. The Cancel button will dismiss the dialog without exporting the files nor saving the options.


Notes:
  1. Selected views in the project browser that are not 3D Views will be ignored.
