Export multiple linked RVT files into separate NWC files

[CICAD_BIM_Utilisateur_01]

Hello Everyone, 

Is there any way to export multiples linked RVT files into separate NWC files. Because I can only include the linked file into one NWC file. 

FYI: We use a plugin to manage all our linked files, which updates and downloads automaticly all the updates of all linked files. But it saves the file on our serveur with a very very very very long directory for every independent rvt file. So I can't use the batch utilities in Navisworks, it will take too much time considering that we have houndreds of them. 

So if anyone has some other ways to do it, thanks in advance. And Happy new year to everyone.

Hi @CICAD_BIM_Utilisateur_01

I'm waiting for further feedback from the team.

Meanwhile, please check this article: Linked files not included when exporting to NWC file format which discusses a couple of workarounds.

Have you tried exporting By View? This only exports what is visible in a view. Set up unique views that only show one linked model. Export each individually.

Create separate 3D views. Turn off worksets / categories that you don't want to see. Putting each link into its own workset would be helpful. Export out to NavisWorks. Lather, rinse, and repeat.

Thanks for the tip, So the premary solution would be creating views for each linked RVT files and then with the help of Dynamo, we can export all the views into NWC.

Thanks for the tip, we are working on the Dynamo nodes for the batch exporting.

Hi @CICAD_BIM_Utilisateur_01

I'm checking back on this post and wanted to ask if you are able to share a file with us to test further.

I'm in touch another dynamo specialist who is helping out, and it will be great if we have your file to simplify these nodes. We can send you a private folder if you'd prefer.

Can you also let us know if you are on C4R?

Looking forward to your reply update.

Regards,
