Enhancements in Navisworks 2024

Navisworks 2024 includes the following enhancements:

Civil alignments

The View tab now contains a Civil Alignments panel that contains tools for viewing and navigating alignments in DWG and NWC files from Civil 3D. See the Civil Alignments topics to learn more (NW-58227, NW-58228, NW-58229, NW-58321, NW-58322, NW-58503, and NW-58704).

Revit files

When opening RVT files in Navisworks, cross sections that were specified in Revit are now reflected in Navisworks views (NW-54144).
Instanced geometry in Revit files no longer displays Element ID tabs in the Properties window. To view the correct element ID, select the parent element in the Selection Tree window, and then use the Properties window > Element tab (NW-58453).
There is a new Embed textures checkbox on the File Editor dialog box > File Readers node > Revit page. Select this checkbox to embed external textures in NWC files exported from Revit. Deselecting it creates an xref to the external textures instead, reducing the size of the NWC file (NW-58317).
There is a new Separate Custom Properties checkbox on the File Editor dialog box > File Readers node > Revit page. Select this checkbox (default) to separate Revit project parameters from other properties on the Custom tab. Deselect it to show all properties on the Element tab (NW-58659).
There is a new Type Properties on Elements checkbox on the File Editor dialog box > File Readers node > Revit page. Select this checkbox to display type properties in the Properties window > Revit Type tab for individual elements. Deselect this checkbox to display type properties in the Properties window > Type tab for the family (NW-58672).

FBX files

The FBX Options dialog now contains an Optimize Export option. When selected (default), duplicate geometry is reused when exporting an FBX file. When deselected, duplicate geometry is not used, which can reduce appearance issues when loading FBX file in other products such as Autodesk Maya (NW-58640 and NW-58673).

IFC files

DWG files

When opening DWG files, Navisworks now dynamically reads and populates property tabs and data based on the properties that were present in AutoCAD (NW-12290 and NW-57740).
The Options Editor dialog box > File Readers node > DWG/DXF page now contains a Convert XRef Overlays option. This option is on by default, and means that any external reference file overlays in DWG files are converted automatically. The old Convert XRefs option has been renamed to Convert XRef Attachments (NW-50121).
The Options Editor dialog box > File Readers node > DWG/DXF page now contains a Convert Leaders option. This option is on by default, and enables text and leaders to be correctly displayed in appended DWG files (NW-58199).

Performance

There is an updated workflow for signing in to Navisworks. You are no longer directed to sign in on start up, and so can start using Navisworks without signing in (NW-58544).

Other

The Options Editor dialog box > Model node > Performance page > Collapse on Convert option is using the default Composite Objects option, it will no longer collapse composite groups if they contain composite child groups, maintaining their visibility in the Selection Tree (NW-57693).
The Options Editor dialog box > Interface node > Viewpoint Defaults page now has a Viewpoints Report section, containing settings for exporting viewpoint reports (NW-58617).
Filename extension checking in Navisworks is no longer case-sensitive, preventing errors when loading files such as .stpZ files (NW-58305).
The Navisworks shortcut in the Windows Start menu now contains ‘Navisworks’ in its name, making it easier to search for and open the product (NW-58299).
The Home tab > App Manager has been replaced with the Plugin Manager. The new Plugin manager provides easy access to enable and disable plugins, and find information about updates and install locations (NW-58248).
Navisworks Freedom now displays Autodesk materials specified in DWG files in the same way as Navisworks Manage (NW-58686).
