As shown below, I simply used the standard view.

In the RTV Xporter Pro dialog box, click the Revit Views tab and then select the 3D view you want to use to create split NWC files. On the RTV Tools tab, click Xporter Pro.ģ. Once you install the add-in, a new tab called RTV Tools will be available in Revit.Ģ. To top it off, you can even schedule to run it overnight, so you are not spending your precious time during the day.ġ. It lets you split the Revit files by levels and then export those levels as Navisworks NWC files. You can get the trial version of this add-in by clicking here. If you are involved in BIM Data Coordination and Clash Detection, this is THE ADD-IN for you. In my quest of finding a better solution, I came across this absolutely awesome Revit add-in that I want to share with you all. Creating section box at each level and then exporting them as NWC files is an extremely tedious process. However, there is an issue in this workflow if you are working on a high rise building. The advantage is that we can then easily run clashes per level so number of clashes found are not intimidating for the users who are fixing them.

In fact, in some large projects, I have even recommended creating section box at various levels and exporting the NWC files for those levels. I do not see a way to change the material of a specific Fabrication parts system.For quite a few years now, I have been emphasizing on the advantages of exporting NWC files from Revit for BIM Data coordination using Navisworks. I think the only true way as of right now is to use Dynamo code to find the systems and color them accordingly so that when you export to NWC, the colors get exported also. In addition to directly exporting the Revit file in the NWC file format using Navisworks Exporter, you can use one of the following ways to open a Revit model in Navisworks: Export the model in CAD format. If its a collaborated model, no one else will see the colors you just set up. You want to know if there are other ways to export Revit files to Navisworks without using Navisworks Exporter. In the end it did work, but this is still not the proper way. Trying to find the correct Category and Property was a pain in the butt.

This took some time to figure out since you have to setup Selection Sets. I did get the colors working using the Appearance Profiler. When you have to do this (Export to Navis) more than 20 times a day, this definitely lags the process. This seemed like a real hacky way and added quite a few extra steps. I didn't have time to mess with the files after exporting to get them to color inside Navis.
