Navisworks import C3D materials

[granite07]

There are two posts for importing C3d material to Navisworks,

I carefully followed the instructions and found the same result as was found in the 2011 release; Navisworks assigns it's own surface material. The properties AutoCAD tab displays the correct material and options DWG/DXF material search paths are the same as displayed in C3D options/file/texture maps search path; both Navis 2012 and C3D 2012 are installed on the same machine.

Hi granite07, 

Would you please send a sample DWG file from Civil 3D along with some screenshots of how the model looks in Civil 3D compared to Navisworks?
