Hi all,

Wasn't sure if I should put this here or in the Revit forums, this seemed the better spot. I'm attempting to export a 110 mb Revit model to Navis. When I open the NWC file in Navis, I'm missing a good chunk of my building. I've set the Navis exporter in Revit to export the full model. I'm missing whole levels of my building. Does anyone have any suggustions?

Thanks,
-R

Is everything that you wish to export visible in your active view (your "export view")?

Are the missing items linked into your Revit model or are they part of that model?

Everything that I'm interested in seeing is visible. None of the elements are in a linked file.

Other than the questions that I asked earlier, the only time that I have had missing items is when I've attempted to export items that were not native Revit elements or that were linked into (or imported into) the exporting model.

Are these random items or it is just one large area of the building that is missing?

I've exported some pretty content heavy Revit files that were about 150MB with no data loss (that I've noticed) except as noted above.

Is your view cropped at all? I'm just trying to think of anything that might possibly cause a glitch with your export.

For the record (and I aplogize for being tardy on my reply), the issue was my own stupidity. As you all know Revit exports an NWC, however in Navis I kept clicking on an NWD file (that I had previously saved from Navis) and it was not showing me the NWC file, and they were both named the same. I finally noticed the extension, and of course, everything worked just dandy, once I was opening the correct file. Thank you for trying to help me out of my own hole.
