    Talking Revit to Navisworks Model Update Workflows

    I've exported my model from Revit to NW, defined some materials that were lost in translation through presenter, defined many selection sets, linked a schedule and created a 4d simulation in timeliner. Now my revit model has been modified. Is there any way to update the model in NW without having to do all that work again? I'm getting really good at this workflow, but it would be great if there was a more efficient way. I can't seem to find the answer in the help files. Forgive me if it has been discussed in this forum before I also cannot find anything with the search here. Thanks in advance.

    Default Re: Revit to Navisworks Model Update Workflows

    Hi, we have done very similar things to you. When our revit model needs re exporting, we just create a new NWC file, overwriting the existing. When you reopen your NWF file the selection sets etc that were created remain.

    Any new items that are not included in a selection set don't display in the animation until added to a selection set.

    My apologies if I've misunderstood your question.

    Thanks for the input. I didn't realize an .nwc was linked to the .nwf like that. Thanks again.
