You can use the SHIFT and CTRL keys to open several files at the same time.
This automatically creates a new “Untitled” Autodesk Navisworks file with
the selected files appended together.
For NWD files, it is possible to publish them to a web server, and then open
them directly from within Autodesk Navisworks. You can start navigating the
model even before the file has been fully downloaded. For this, 10 - 50% is
usually sufficient. The greater the hierarchical structure of the model, the
closer to 50% download is required. Similarly, the lesser the hierarchical
structure of the model, the sooner you can begin the navigation.
NOTE Encrypted DWF files, such as files with Password, and Print/Measure
protected files are not currently supported.
