when I open my revit model into navisworks, all that shows up is a couple of lines.  The first snapshot is what I get when opening the model,  the second is what I get when I export the model.  Can anyone help me with this problem?undefinedundefined

Make sure in the viewpoint tab that the surface button is enabled.

Thank you for your post.  It looks like you are taking a model from Revit and bringing this into Navisworks, but the model is not displaying as desired.

 

In this case we have seen this a few times before in regards to the RVT setup for use in Navisworks.  To help identify this and best practices I have included two helpful links below with more details.  In this case, for use with Revit, you will want to create a view in Revit specifically for Navisworks.  This will help keep your visual coordination for what you want to include inside of Navisworks.  Once created, save your project with the 3D view active and test reopening the rvt within Navisworks.  Does it still continue?  If so, please attach a copy of the model in your reply for testing.  We would be happy to take a look.  Thank you and we look forward to your reply update.

I am new to revit, I usually use mep.  in mep I can open the file and make changes to the mep file and refresh navisworks to see if the changes work or not.  it looks like I can't do this with revit, instead I have to export the file to navisworks each time I make changes.  If this is correct looks like I will have to just get use to it.
