Create a federated model

When project models are opened in Navisworks, NWC files are created automatically. These are compressed versions of the project model which update when changes are made to the source file, making for easier and quicker project workflows. Learn to use these files effectively in your projects and create NWF files to contain them. 

After completing this video, you’ll be able to:

  • Describe the differences between NWC, NWF, and NWD file types.
  • Export NWC files from Revit.
  • Open and append model files within Navisworks.
  • Create an NWF file.

Any referenced datasets can be downloaded from "Module downloads" in the module overview.
