00:00To export a Navisworks cache, NWC file from Revit, open a dedicated 3D view in your project
00:06and go to File then Export, then Navisworks, NWC.
00:09Note, if the NWC export option is missing, download and install the free Autodesk Navisworks
00:15NWC export utility matching your specific rebuyte version.
00:19Step-by-step export instructions.
00:21Prepare a dedicated 3D view, set the detail level to fine and visual style to shaded or consistent
00:28colors so ductwork, pipework, and structural elements render properly.
00:32Cleanup visibility. Optional but recommended.
00:35Open visibility AG graphics overrides VV or VG.
00:39Turn off unnecessary annotation categories, analytical models, and imported CAD files.
00:44Generally, uncheck Revit links in this view if each discipline or subcontractor exports
00:48their own individual NWC file to be appended separately in Navisworks.
00:52Initiate the export.
00:53Click file, then export the Navisworks NWC, or find it under Add-ins, then External Tools,
01:00then Autodesk Navisworks, depending on your version.
01:03Configure Navisworks setup options.
01:05Click the Navisworks Settings button in the Export dialog box to customize what gets transferred.
01:12Or in a system, choose Share Coordinates or Project Internal, depending on how your
01:16multi-disciplinary federated model is coordinated.
01:18Click convert element properties. Check this box to retain BIM data, parameters, and element IDs in
01:25Navisworks. Click convert element IDs. Check this box for tracking and clash reporting.
01:31Click convert linked CAD formats of files. Uncheck unless you specifically need linked CAD Revit files
01:36baked into this single export.
01:38Click export current view. Ensure this is selected so it only exports the visible elements from your prepared
01:433D view. Save the file. Name your file, choose your destination folder, and click Save to generate
01:49the .NWC file. And that's the full picture. If this saved you a search, hit like and subscribe.
