Hello all,

Newbie to the world of threads, so this question may be answered elsewhere and if so, please forgive my ignorance...

I am working with both Revit Architecture 2009 and Navisworks 2009.1... is Switchback now supported for Revit through Navisworks? (reading the autodesk info pages, it looks as though only AutoCad 2004 and later is supported, but I am hopeful...) If not, any idea when?

Thanks - Chris

No it is not supported in Revit, I haven't heard anything about when it will be available, I would bet it won't be anytime soon.

Switchback is only supported if Navisworks can read the file natively. Currently, Navisworks cannot read Revit files directly, they have to go through a conversion process (NWC Export). It would be nice to have this though, I agree...Who knows what the future will bring.
