Question? Updated RVT to NWC Export? (Automated)

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know if there is a way to use a Dynamo script and apply to all RVTs in a folder, to export them all as Navisworks NWC’s? (see attached visual for more information)

My question is specifically focused on step 2 of this process I am trying to automate, and how Dynamo could help me achieve this?

My first thought was to use Dynamo to achieve this, but if anyone knows of a better way to resolve this process I am certainly open to hearing it.

Yes, you can automate exporting the Revit RVT to Navisworks.

The Revit API provides the Doucment.Export overload taking a NavisworksExportOptions argument for this purpose:

In a Revit add-in, you can use the OS functionality to access all RVT files in the folder, open, export and close each in turn.

This functionality can also be made available in a Dynamo node.
