The distributable NWC file exporter enables project teams using Autodesk® Naviswork® software to generate whole-project models for simulation and analysis.
Project team members can generate the optimized NWC file directly from their design applications. This capability is provided without necessitating a licensed seat of Autodesk Navisworks 2011 software on the same machine.
The NWC exporter works with a range of products, including the AutoCAD®-based and Revit®-based Autodesk products, as well as Autodesk® 3ds Max®, Bentley MicroStation®, and Graphisoft ArchiCAD® software. The NWC file format supports transfer of both object geometry and associated metadata from the design applications into Autodesk Navisworks 2011 software.
Thank you.
When I try to open an NWC file in Navisworks 2010, I sometimes get an error that says the file has an "unknown version number" and then doesn't open. Do you know what causes this?

Unfortunately it's almost September and the 32bit export for ArchiCAD13 does not work (by Autodesk's own admission) and no 64 bit in sight. Now they are talking Nov/Dec. Should take the ArchiCAD version out as it's misleading advertising.
Not happy :(

Hi Brad / Rune
Are you trying to open a Navisworks file that has been generated in a new version of the product (i.e. trying to open a file save in NW 2011 in the 201 product)? If so you will see the unknown version number message.
If this is not the workflow that is causing the problem please contact Autodesk Support with a full description of the problem and ideally some sample files and we will be able to look into the problem.
Rune - I am afraid that we cannot export animations from Max to NW.
Many thanks
Richard
