When usint the NWC exporter for Revit 2013, I have one model that takes unusualy long time to export.
After it finishes the progress of all the elements, ie (4446/4446) and before it says writting to file, it regenerates graphics for multiple views in the project. (watch status bar in Video Capture of error.) 5 Min but only need to watch from about 30 seconds to 1min30 seconds to see the problem.
To help troubleshoot, please post a journal from the session where you saw this behavior.
The journal should be in the location below:
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Autodesk\Revit\<Revit Version>\Journals
Thank you for addressing my concern.
I had cleared out my journal files since the last post, but I ran the command again today to regenerate a new journal file. It is attached.
We are experiencing the same issues on a very large model that is using worksets. It gets to 100% but then just sits and regenerates all the views in the model.
We have been experiencing the same issues with the exporting of the Navis files. It started with just one Revit 2013 project having this issue. We are now working on a second project that has the same issue in Revit 2014.
Has anyone found the solution to this issue?
I have included my journal file for your use.
Ditto.
I have the same issue on a few on my files.
Most export in a flash and some take minutes..
Journal is attached from one of the problematic files.

Has anyone been able to solve this problem yet? I have seen keynotes mentioned as the cause, however on my project we are not using keynotes, and still experiencing the same problem. It is very frustrating.
We were advised by Autodesk support that the cause of this issue for us was to do with the grids. Being a MEP project the fix was quite easy, we just deleted all grids in the project and re copy monitored them and the export now works fine.
I've had the same issue with multiple projects. We've tried everything.... except the Grids ^^^^.
Confirmed, resolved. (at least on this project.)
I had found the architect had a workset 'monitored grids'. Removed the grids on that workset, retried the exports to nwc, and things exported instantly. No more 17 minute waits.
Thanks for the tip!
I'm runing into a slightly similar issue.
I can get my file to export but the results are not what I expected.
We have a large structural model (310+MB) for about half of a 1.4mil sqft facility we've been working on for a while. We recently upgraded the file from 2013 to 2014. Before we were exporting .NWC files just fine. NWC file would be about 5000+Kb when exported. After we've upgraded the file size is now 150,000Kb.
Can anyone explain what's going on here. What changed that would cause this behavior. How is it I can have a file that I've not added much to, but the export is now 30x larger than it was when exported in 2013.
Is this the new norm?
What am I missing here?

When you say you deleted the Grids on the Architectural Monitered workset, do you mean that you deleted the grids in your linked file or just the grids that your file that were copy monitered?
Delete your own copied/monitored grids and the problem goes away.
Some have noted that they are re-copying/monitoring the grids with better results. I've been leaving mine deleted and just using the arch or structural grids.

Detach it from central...with no worksets....open on your local and then export.
Have you tried that? Are you trying to do this over the network... that is just asking for issues...no matter what solution you are using.
We managed to resolve the problem by just deleting all grids, copy monitored or not. Then purging the model and recopy monitoring the grids. This was a good result as we didnt have to keep revisiting the problem everytime we needed to export to navis.
Thanks Channond,
I haven't tried copy monitoring the grids back in yet. For now I just detached from central and deleted all of the grids. That seemed to resolve the problem. Next step will be to put the grids back and see if that is a permanent solution.
I have had this same problem (Revit 2014 NWC export), thanks to this thread I was able to resolve it HOWEVER ithas come back 😞
Looks like GRIDS in general are the problem - even local ones!
