Just recently I have started to run into an issue when creating a clash report with viewpoints, that the viewpoints are saving with the scene lighting which makes it difficult to view. I have run thru all the Navis settings and cannot fiind anything that will make this change to just a head light setting. Attached is a pic of what I am getting for the view. Anyone have any ideas?
I did the same thing with 2015 and then saving it back down to a 2014 NWD to send to my subs. What's weird is this just started happening to me all of a sudden in this one project... I'm still hoping for a fix since we don't know how buggy 2015 is yet and I'm not sure I'm ready to upgrade.
Doing the same thing for our projects also, making clash reports saved to viewpoints nearly useless. 2015 is worse, you can't disable the scene lighting from revit that comes over, making 2015 unusable for revit to Navisworks workflows, because it doesn't have Presenter anymore. It wipes out the default navisworks distance lights no matter what you tell it to use.
No, the bugs in Navisworks 2014 and 2015 don't let the settings in the NWC to work. Even if you turn off light sources in the view properties and/or turn off the lights in the rendering scene, navisworks reads the lights source info from Revit. The only thing that works would be to turn off Lighting Fixtures, export to NWC and open in Navisworks with no lights.(navisworks will use the default two distance lighting scheme) Then, you could export the light fixures to autocad and append the dwg into the model. Worthless for electrical data and our use at our firm but it will let you clash the light component. One would think a program we org paid $10,000 for would work with Revit
