We have a large multidiscipline project that is being viewed by the client in Navisworks. I am one of the lone people using civil3d and I am having an issue getting my pie networks to show in navisworks. My other objects- surfaces, are showing up fine but not my pipe networks.

Exporting the files out as a nwc file will not cut it with the client.

How can I get my pipes to show as a separate file to be loaded into Navisworks? I tried using the export to xml route - improting the pipes back into a new file, and then viewing that dwg in navisworks - but only boxes showed in navisworks - no 3d shapes. The file tree shows them all as AECC_Structure.

Our file structure is to create model files that can be loaded into one master nwc file so I need to keep the pipes separate from other objects.

For surfaces - I have been simply promoting my surface so that is contained within the dwg - and turning on the tin for model view. I then save the file which is then imported into navisworks. This same process for pipes is not working for me.

PLEASE help - what am I doing that is not working with this program!!

Thanks,

Greg-
