How to convert nwc to rvt

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I am a newbie & I'm not good at english.

I have a architectural drawing but this is nwc file. 

How to convert nwc file to revit.

Thank all!

Hello, @Anonymous , welcome to the forum.

I don't think an .nwc file can be "converted" into Revit.  You can insert it into a Revit file as a coordination model and then save the .rvt file, but the coordination model will be just an external reference.

Hi @Anonymous - which version of Revit are you in? @Alfredo_Medina 's suggestion will only work if you are in Revit 2018.

@Anonymous, if you're not in Revit 2018, there's no simple workflow:

1) You can export *.FBX from Navisworks > Open it with 3DsMax > Save as *.DWG or *.DXF > Open in Revit

2) You can try exporting Navisworks model to *.ifc format with one of the paid plugins (like this https://apps.autodesk.com/NAVIS/en/Detail/Index?id=5575831510149644553&appLang=en&os=Win64), then open it with Revit.

Both workflows are resource and time consuming, and may fail with large-scale models.

Thank you for help!

I linked .nwc into Revit & combine it with my drawing. But then, I export this file -> .nwd and open with navisworks, it does not view this coordination model ( that i linked into Revit ). ( I'm not good English so I hope you sympathize )

In Navisworks, simply append the two files: 1) the .nwc of your Revit model, and 2) the .nwc that you already had.

how to make nwc to revit model

Please clarify your question. Do you mean how to export from Revit to .nwc format?

[gustavo_almeidawlv29]

I have a large .nwd file that I would like to convert to .3dbi.
From what I've studied, I would need to open it in Revit and use a plugin called "3DBi for Revit."
Then I would extract the file from Revit to the .3dbi format.
Do you know of any better methods?
