Work with Files
In Autodesk Navisworks you can open nwd files (published data), and .dwf files.
Use File Readers
NWD Files
An NWD file is a file created with Autodesk Navisworks publisher
tool, and contains all model geometry together with review markups.
You can think of an NWD file as a snapshot of the current state of
the model.
NWD files are very small, as they compress the CAD data by up to
80% of the original size.
DWF Files
Autodesk DWF was specifically developed by Autodesk as a file
format for architects, engineers, and GIS professionals to share design
data. The DWF file reader reads all 3D geometry, as well as textures
and properties.
Supported Entities
■ All 3D geometry
■ Texture maps
■ Texture coordinates
■ Colors (per-vertex, per-face)
■ Property fields
■ Categories
Unsupported Entities
■ 2D lines/plot sections
■ Thumbnails
■ Marked-up sketches
■ More than one 3D section per file (any others are ignored)
