    Question exporting tree structure from Autocad Architecture and Revit

    When i export a model from autocad or revit to navis the selection tree structure comes with the names of the layers, and doesn't classify the elements according to their object criteria (ex: in dwf viewer or autocad architecture they are classified as walls-slabs-doors-windows-roofs-ect..). I need this type of tree structure to be imported to navis without having to create selection sets.
    Knowing that i modified the option in option editor before exporting from MODEL----PERFORMENCE---CONVERT ON COLLAPSE---- ALL OBJECTS
    Is there any other option to modify
    please help

    Export your model as a 3D DWF and you will get the selection tree based on components instead of layers/levels.

    You need to create search sets for the objects, I posted some for Revit and ACAD MEP but I haven't done any for ACA yet, I could throw one together real quick if you'd like.
