Quick Iterations of Navisworks Models

If you’re working on doing quick iterations of Navisworks models from AutoCAD or Revit and have to continually unload your appended models in order to export the models from your modelling program, there is a convenient workaround to this. Under Options Editor>Model>Performance, make sure “Close NWC/NWD Files on Load” is checked. Now you can overwrite NWC files without unloading them in your NWF file. After overwriting these files, simply click refresh in Navisworks’ Home tab and a newer version of the model will replace the older version you were previously viewing.
