Exporting Revit Fabrication Parts to an NWC and retain information

[JayD_504]

I am working on a project where i am using fabrication parts inside of Revit.  I am trying to nwc the project out for bim coordination and am getting the fabrication services to come in without being able to differentiate between the different services.  Is there a setting i am missing for the export or something?

Are we talking about properties coming into Navis? They should be there. Make sure your selection resolution in Navisworks is set to "First Object" and not "Last Object". The properties you mention should be under the Element tab.

I would guest it would be apart of properties.  I am looking for more along the lines of being able to tell the difference between services in Navis Manage.  Currently it just exports as one big service.

Fabrication Service should be a property of the element. Make sure that in the exporter settings that convert element properties is turned on, and again, make sure your selection resolution is set to first object when selecting fabrication parts so you select the part and not the solid geometry of the part. Here is a snip from one of my navis files showing the properties. These are what you are after correct? I want to make sure I'm on the same page.

Yes we are on the same page.  I believe my settings are set correctly but i will take another look at them.

After further checking, my exporter opinions they are set to convert elements.  Within the selection Tree, it does not separate the piping by systems, it separates them by fittings.  All of the pipe, regardless of service comes in as white.  This makes it difficult to determine what system is what without having to click on parts to determine this.
