The export process in Civil 3D is even easier: In the surface file, type NWOPT in the command line to review the exporter options. A NWC file will be exported out to Revit.

Go to the Application Menu and select “Export to NWC”.Verify that the visibility and graphics of your 3D view is properly set with unnecessary items turned off such as lines or DWG files. Open your model in Revit and make sure it is prepared for export to Navisworks by creating a 3D view called Navisworks.

Here’s a closer look at the export process for both Revit and Civil 3D. Navisworks is a common alternative because it is a great visualization tool that can be used for clash detection, animations, and real-time navigation. 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. Pre-requisite: Both Revit and Navisworks need to be installed on your machine to transfer the points or geometry from Navisworks to Revit.This Tech Tip is adapted from a session presented by U.S. Simply snap some points using the "Point to Point" measurement tool in Navisworks, then select the "Points->Revit" button in the ribbon. Have you ever been working with a Navisworks model and had to reference a location in Revit? The Points->Revit tool allows you to instantly reference points used in the measurement tool into the last active Revit view. You also have the option to export all selected objects as one piece of generic geometry in Revit, or you can export each selected object separately. With the Mesh->Revit functionality you can instantly transfer the selected geometry from Navisworks to the last active Revit View. Many times, it becomes necessary to reference geometry in a Navisworks model from a file that was not provided to you. When working out of an Autodesk® Navisworks® model while using Autodesk® Revit® as your design software, Nav to Rev allows a user to instantly transfer geometry and points from Navisworks to Revit in real-time.
