RVT to NWC Export for Navisworks from Revit

Autodesk has made changes to how users export Revit files to the NWC format, as the Export to NWC Utility is no longer included with Revit. To continue working seamlessly with Navisworks, you will need to download and install the NWC Export Utility separately. This process involves selecting the correct version of the utility that corresponds with your version of Revit and ensuring both necessary files are downloaded if applicable

  1. Visit https://www.autodesk.com/products/navisworks/3d-viewers
  2. Scroll down to the Navisworks NWC Export Utility that matches your version of Revit.
  3. Some years have two files. If your year does, be sure to download File 1 and File 2, otherwise you will get an error message.
  4. After both files have finished downloading, open the .exe file. Typically, this is File 1. This will prepare the Installer.
  5. Once the Installer is created, click “Run Installer” and wait for the installation to complete. This will take several minutes to complete.
  6. Restart your Computer and open Revit. You should now see the NWC file format option when you go to File>Export, which will allow you to continue with the lesson.
