Exporting to Navisworks File formate

[Anonymous]

I am trying to convert a revit file to navisworks.  I have a licensed version of Navisworks Manage 2011 and a trial version of revit.  I have installed the exporter add-in, but can't find where in revit to export the file.  We are have not had much luck getting architects to convert the files for us, so we are looking at purchasing a copy of revit to do our own coversions, but I wanted to make sure everything would work before making the purchase.  I am not a revit user and not familiar with the software at all.  Any help would be appreciated.

Once the Navisworks add-in is installed you should be able to locate it in Revit 2011 below:

Revit 2011 > Add-Ins > External Tools > Navisworks 2011.

Thanks for the quick reply.  I do not have the Add-ins menu option.  That is what was confusing to me.  I don't know if it is not showing up since I am running Revit as a trial version or if I need to do something to have it show up.

Did you install Revit before Navisworks, or after?
