Hello, I am relatively new to Navisworks, please see the attached image. When I append and add several NWC’s, they are not aligned correctly within the building. Does anyone know what would cause this issue? How to resolve this issue? – Thanks.
A Lot ov variables could be the cause. I t would help if you could provide some more info, sych as what program did you use to generate the nwc.

Hi msdynamix,
When exporting your NWC files, are you using Shared or Project Internal coordinates in the exporter? You can check this by clicking the "Navisworks Settings" button in the Navisworks exporter. By default, it is set to Shared.
If you are exporting using shared coordinates, are the models aligning properly in Revit when you link them?

I have a similar issue. I have two seperate models that I have linked within Revit - their origin points align correctly. I have then opened a navis model (nwc.) and have proceeded to append the second model within Navisworks from Revit 2012 by Add-Ins & External tools, however when I complete this task, the models are not alligned in Navisworks.
I have searched for the shared/project internal coordinates under exporter for Navisworks, but did not have any luck locating this. Can you give me some more direction on this?

I've run into this before when the architect and structure don't line up.
See if the project basepoint is in the same location for both Revit files. If they are different try changing them to match and see what happens.
