Link a Coordination Model

Link a file from Navisworks® and use it as a reference for a Revit model, providing context for the design.

1. Obtain a file containing the model created using other CAD software.

   For a list of supported CAD file formats, see the Navisworks help.

2. In Navisworks, do the following:
   1. Open the CAD file.
   2. Save the model to an NWD file.
3. In Revit, link to the NWD file or its corresponding NWC cache file, as follows:
   1. Click Insert tabLink panel (Coordination Model).
   2. In the Coordination Model dialog, click Add.
   3. Navigate to the target NWD or NWC file, select it, and click Open.
   4. Click OK.

      The linked model displays in the currently active view.

   5. (Optional) Select the linked model, move it to the desired location, and pin it in place so it is not inadvertently moved out of place.
   6. Open and navigate other views to see the coordination model from different viewpoints.
