If you need to push back on the file type choice then the following will help explain. When doing the save make sure you save as a NWD file format and pick the correct release, in case your receiver is using an older version of Navisworks. Once you have the model in the correct position then all we need to do is save this as a native Navisworks file to then send off. You may have already come across the fact that Inventor only works with a local coordinate system and you cannot put in any OS or global coordinates, Navisworks will allow you to accommodate that so when the receiver adds this to their Navisworks project your parts drop into the correct location and they do not have to manually move them. This would also be were you could move your model so that it was position in relation to the main Navisworks project. You can do it by eye or even better expand the Transform panel to reveal explicit transformations. Then on the “Item Tools” ribbon you can transform it. To do it in Navisworks first select your whole model. You could either do that in your Inventor assembly or do it in Navisworks. Navisworks will match your Inventor’s origins to its own origins so if you assembled upside down or with the origin plane not on the bottom of the model you will need to tweak it. Once the file has been appended you may notice that the assembly is in the wrong orientation or position. I would recommend maybe doing some simplification of your assembly first to help remove IP (such as internal components) To do this Append in your Inventor assembly. Once you have Navisworks open you need to place in your Inventor model. The below steps should help you create and send the Navisworks file format.įirst Open up Navisworks, depending on your suite you may have Navisworks Simulate or Navisworks Manage, for these purposes the difference between the products doesn’t matter. If you have determined that Navisworks is the file format, maybe it’s the tool that is being used at the receiving end or a high BIM level of detail is being requested. You may well get requests for BIM information, or BIM compliant models. after reloading back through into the project, this also allowed the export to continue.Ī: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.Īt .CustomExporter.Export(View3D view)Īt 3DView(View3D view_3d, StateDictionary state_dict)Īt working with 3 rd parties, especially in the construction and infrastructure industries passing over an Inventor model is not particularly useful.

Look for a light source subcategory in your NWC export view.

Install MouseController (I used choco install mousecontroller).You could also down-save to 2013, delete the lights in Presenter, then save-up to 2015, but that seems a little too hacky, even for me.
The immediate workaround is to use Shaded mode with Headlight only, as this ignores Light sources. This is because Navisworks 2015 does not allow you to delete multiple light sources at once (sadface), and it doesn’t allow you to “Clear Palette” like Presenter did.
One way to get rid of all these light sources is to use a macro recorder to delete them all. Press and hold the Delete key on the keyboard – it will rapidly delete lights out of the Navisworks model. Update: scroll to the bottom of the Autodesk Rendering, Lights pane and select the last entry.
