    Default room label from revit

    I created a dwg file of a floor plan from revit.
    I appended it to the Navis file.

    The room labels show up in the (.NWF) file, but not in the (.NWD) file, why? (See attached PDF file.)

    Is it OK to save the viewpoints in the (.NWF) file instead of in the (.NWD) file.

    In the second photo (NWD), the Text icon is turned off. If you select that it should show your text properly.

    Cheers.

    That's not true. I didn't hide anything for either of the files.
    Both have the same setting, nothings got hidden. The only difference is the file format.
    So why one shows up, and the other doesn't?

    See the attached zip file

    Your NWF is also referencing a different DWG file than the NWD. Look at the selection tree to compare. To locate the other file, you can obtain the location by highlighting the file name in the selection tree. Under the properties box, check out Item>Source File Name.

    Cheers.

    I think David's right.

    I always save it as the .NWF file first. Then I saved it as a .NWD file after I generated the .NWF file.

    But this is weird. The .NWD file automatically turned off the Text icon. That's something I didn't realize before. (I thought it was something hidden in the selection tree.)

    Thanks once again for both of your help.
