Installed NavisWorks 2010 first, then Revit 2010... How do I get the export to NavisWorks option from Revit?

Posted in the NavisWorks forum as well...

Thanks!

Because of the order you installed them, you have to figure out where Navisworks stores the plugin info, and then manually edit the Revit INI file to register the locations. Or....
Reinstall Navisworks, now that Revit is installed.

Was a pretty easy fix - this is what I did...

Add/Remove Programs: Repair/reinstall the Exporters.

Thnx.

Do you know if Revit materials export to Navisworks, or...

Do you know what level of Navisworks is needed...there seems to be...from free/inexpensive to "I have to hawk my car"

Hmmm...Navisworks Simulate (with Realtime rendering etc.) $4,600 with subscription...ouch.

Any suggestions on resolving this error message. I have tried the various suggestions so far, without luck.

Thanks.

Failed to open Navisworks exporter localisation file, please contact Autodesk technical support.

My suggestion would be to contact Autodesk technical support...I've done the 'repair installation' to Navisworks with good results.

Where is the Navisworks plugin icon/button within Revit 2010. There is no longer a Tools menu and I can't seem to locate the plugin within the application. Thanks for your help.

There is an Add-Ins Tab that should appear. On that "Ribbon, to the Far Left is an External Tools Tab/button with a little Down Arrow. It should appear there.
