How do I know if I need to use an Object Enabler with Autodesk Navisworks 2016?
When a DWG file is opened in Autodesk Navisworks 2016, and the objects are displayed as wireframe geometry, it usually means that an Object Enabler is missing.
Additionally, the Scene Statistics dialog box reports any missing or failed to load OEs.
Where do I obtain Object Enablers from?
The recommended way to obtain OEs is to request them from the persons authoring the DWG file. This ensures that the correct version of OE is used.
Tip: You can also download many OEs from the vendor websites for the authoring applications. For example, you can download Autodesk OEs from http://www.autodesk.com/oe.
What do I do when Object Enablers are not reported as missing but I can only see wireframe geometry?
