Installing the 2017 Fabrication object enabler should be all you have to do. This happened to me recently with 2017 Navis and it was because the object enabler was not updating the registry properly.
The path location to dbx file was wrong in my registry.
The key location in registry is here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\ObjectDBX\R21.0\Applications\Maps_Solids
Make sure the Path in the LOADER value is pointing to the location of the dbx file installed by the object enabler.
My path is set here:
c:\program files\autodesk\fabrication 2017\cadmep\cadmep21_x64.dbx
Moatman,
This was exactly the problem with our install. I came here looking for a reason why someone with Building Design Suite 2017 and Fabrication CADmep 2017 installed on their computer couldn't see Fabrication objects in Navisworks Simulate 2017.
When I went to the location in the registry editor that you mentioned, our LOADER path was incorrect. It had added one additional folder level so it read "c:\program files\autodesk\fabrication 2017\cadmep\DBX\cadmep21_x64.dbx". I eliminated the "DBX" folder after verifying that your suggested path was correct, and it worked perfectly upon reopening Navisworks.
Thank you very much for this solution.
