Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions.ArgumentException: The name is already in use for this element type.
Parameter name: name
at Autodesk.Revit.DB.ElementType.Duplicate(String name)
at NavisWorks16.LcIRevitBase.Create3DView(String& created_view_name)

at NavisWorks16.LcIRevitBase.ExportDocument(String& return_message, ElementSet elements, LcIRevitParameters* params)

Hi, How can I fix this problem? This message appears in the .log file generated by revit when trying to export to navis. Other models export ok, this happens only in one model

Have you tried appending the revit model to its own navisworks file to see if you get the same error?

@Anonymous No problem! Just open up Navisworks, Click on Append at the top left corner, switch the file type to RVT and find your Revit File. 🙂 Then save as an NWC
