Revit File Exporter

Navisworks can read native Revit (RVT) files directly. Alternatively, you can use the file exporter to save your files in NWC format.

The file exporter is available to download here for Revit 2023.

Export NWC Files from Revit

1. In Revit, click Add-Ins > External Tools > Autodesk Navisworks.

   Note: This option is not available in Demo/Viewer mode. If you are not in demo mode, but do not have access to the Autodesk Navisworks menu, check if editing view is set to normal, and the modify tool is selected (Edit > Modify).

2. In the Export Scene As dialog box, enter the name for the file, and browse to the desired storage location.

3. Click Save to export the file, or Cancel to return to the application without exporting it.

Adjust the Options for the Revit File Exporter

1. In Revit, click Add-Ins > External Tools > Autodesk Navisworks.
2. In the Export Scene As dialog box, click the Autodesk Navisworks Settings button.
3. Expand the File Exporters node in the Options Editor, and click the Revit page. Use the options on this page to adjust the settings for future exports of NWC files from Revit.
4. Click OK to save the changes and return to the Export Scene As dialog box.
5. Click Cancel to close the dialog box.
