Revit Grid in Navisworks

[brenehan]

Hi Guys

Here is a nifty idea.
How about we export the gridded ceilings out of revit using FBX export. We then append the gridded ceiling FBX into Navisworks main model.
Attached is the result you get. Note you need to change Navisworks viewpoint to shaded.

For a visual inspection it is not to bad.

I am working with a model which will include coordination of items in the ceiling grid. I would like to be able to see the grid created in Revit in Navisworks where our coordination will be taking place, but currently the exported ceiling appears as a solid without any grid.

I have two work arounds but neither get me quite what I am looking for, and I wanted to see if anyone had a better way of doing this.

1) Export the ceiling to ACAD add a hatch and extrude it 1.5" then load it into the model (too much effort and would require manual updating).
2) Add a material to the ceiling in NW (not accurate enough)

Am I missing something?

Just explode the grid and you will see it in Navisworks.
