NWC Export from Revit: Retain the Color Overrides from Filters

The easiest, most efficient and intuitive way for many of us to see our content developed in Revit with the same color overrides in Navis would be to allow a transfer of the Filters created in Revit and applied to the NWC Exported view. I know there are a number of options to achieve this, to apply colors to the components in Navis via Appearance Profiler and Search Sets, individual overrides, or direct material duplication / manipulation in Revit, those are not as intuitive as it would be to use the tool that many (if not most) users already use, being Filters in Revit.

Following.

 

Autodesk needs to address this.  This is a very common issue and it takes many hours to fix this with work arounds.  

 

Please fix this!

Agree with this.  The dwg and dwfx exports carry forward the filter overrides into the exported models - Nwc should have an option to do this as well.  Sadly dwgs dont carry meta data and the dwfx exports dont export to the projects shared coordinates!!!!!!!! i think colour filters do carry into ifc files.  So simplest workflow would be to export to ifc then append ifc to navisworks which would generate the nwc.   Not ideal as not all models export to .ifc if they are large and my Revit session always crashes when exporting any model to ifc.  Revit 2020.2.9

As @AntBee321 mentioned, DWF will carry over your overrides. NWCs do not.

Please mark this response as "Accept as Solution" if it answers your question.
