IFC Mesh reduction

Working with some big converted IFC file - is it possible to reduce the geometry level of the ifc or ifc.rvt file with any Navisworks workaround?
 
Thanks for any ideas

Ask the provider of the IFC file to classify the elements correctly before export. If everything is an ifcBuildingElementProxy you will get huge files as they are represented as mesh objects. Consider using IFC4.3 exports rather than IFC2x3 as it supports infrastructure elements.

 

ifcBuildingElementProxy objects are just a series of polygons with no intelligence or useful attributes other than geometry.
