It’s a convenient, powerful and flexible solution.” Models of different formats can also be combined prior to export, for example a Revit model and an IFC model can be combined into a single view, and then saved as a Navisworks file. “Client applications can create Navisworks files from arbitrary 3D geometry, or from Autodesk® Revit®, IFC, DGN or DWG models.

NET APIs, and our solution is available on Windows, Mac and Linux. “Our new export capability supports the creation of Navisworks files with no dependencies on the native Navisworks application,” said Neil Peterson, ODA President. Scottsdale, AZ: Ma– Open Design Alliance (ODA), provider of complete interoperability solutions for CAD and BIM, announced the availability of export support for Autodesk® Navisworks® files from its BimNv SDK (Software Development Kit).īimNv SDK is an independent, standalone solution for reading, visualizing and creating Autodesk Navisworks files.

We know there other methods you use to pare down your files - please get in touch if you feel there's any that you can't live without that we should include in this article.Export Navisworks files from any application on any platform As with any memory hungry operation, try to minimize the number of other programs competing for resources.If you still have problems and the machine has been left on for days or weeks then a restart of the machine may also be a good idea. Save the project, restart Revit, reopen the file and try to export. Does Revit needs a restart? If you are working in the application all day and then try to export at the end of the day, you have been potentially caching your project all day.Other things to check if you still have problems exporting After all individual linked models have been purged, purge the main model and try again to export.

You may want to open each individual linked file and purge it until there is nothing left to purge this may take two or three passes. You will be able to select which items are Purged before proceeding. You can use the 'Purge Unused' button on the Manage tab of Revit to delete unused families or unused family types from the model.
