WHAT IS NAVISWORKS?
Autodesk Navisworks is a BIM authoring and comprehensive project review software that supports coordination, simulation, Quantification,
analysis, and communication of design intent and constructability.

TYPES OF NAVISWORKS SOFTWARE

There are three types of Naviswork software. They are
1. Naviswork Simulate
2. Naviswork Manage
3. Naviswork Freedom

NAVISWORK SOURCE FILES
In Autodesk Navisworks you can open files originated from a variety of CAD & BIM applications. They are known as Naviswork source files.
You can combine these files together, and create a single Autodesk Navisworks file with a whole-project view of your model. This file brings
together geometry and data created by multi-disciplinary teams, and enables you to explore and review complex models in real-time.

EXPORTING NWC FROM REVIT
1. Open Revit Project
2. Go to Application Menu -> Export -> NWC (OR) ADD-Inns Tab –> External Panels-> External Drop Down-> Navisworks 2016
3. In the Export Scene As dialog box, click the Navisworks Settings button.
4. Expand the File Reader, and click the Revit. Use the options on this page to adjust the settings for future exports of NWC files from Revit.
5. Click OK to save the changes and return to the Export Scene As dialog box.
6. Save to create NWC file.
