I've got Civil 3D 2012 (x64) installed, and Navisworks Simulate 2013 (x64), plus the Civil 3D 2012 object enablers (x64). Simulate DWG reader version is set as "2012" and Advanced - Convert Object properties has Civil 3D ticked. There are some Civil 3D objects which are not converting properly.
Given that both the application *and* the enabler is installed, shouldn't these objects be viewable?

Try installing the 2013 enablers, then delete the NWC, reload and see what happens. Hope this helps and thanks for posting.
Thanks Alan - inital testing looks like that takes care of it.
I downloaded it when we started using the product. It was still under active support at the time. In a pinch, you could try installing Civil3D 2012 (activation not necessary) onto the computer with Navisworks.
I'd recommend updating to a newer version of Navisworks though - many good changes have been made.
I may need to re-phrase my questions. Where can I find the Civil3D 2012 object enablers so that I may bring Pipe Networks into Navisworks Simulate 2012? Or are they not needed and I am doing the processes completely wrong?
If you can't find a download (I think they may have dropped it during the migration to the new support pages) it should be available from the unpacked version of the program installer.

If you already have the OE installed on the computer with Navisworks and the pipe networks aren't showing up, try a later release of the OE. Also have a look at the File Statistics to see if they are actually getting read.
