Relocating models once loaded in Navisworks is possible, but not a great idea. Navisworks allows the assembly of several models, to do so it is imperative that the shared coordinates are properly set. For instance, you can model a retaining wall in Revit for all its length, but for construction purposes and planning, it must be broken down in smaller pieces that can be assigned, for example, to different days or construction periods.Įnsure that the coordinates of the model are correct. ”Parts” tool in Revit can be of help to segment an element in smaller pieces. If you are intending to use 4D planning as a BIM use in Navis, model elements must be subdivided in relation to the construction planning tasks.

Either way, it is important to prepare the model before converting to Navisworks. Revit to Navisworks conversion can be done in two ways, either exporting from Revit, where you will create and save a NWC file from your Revit Model, or by opening the Revit file with Navisworks, which will also create and save the NWC in the same location as the Revit file and then will add it to the NWF model.
