I don&amp;#39;t think we have any better solution than what you have already discovered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regarding the future synchronizability of the models, you can review this video explaining the workflow with Navisworks (saving model as NWF) and&amp;nbsp;SYNCHRO Plugin &amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://youtu.be/jTMgAfzmygM?t=279"&gt;https://youtu.be/jTMgAfzmygM?t=279&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let us know if we can assist with anything else!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: NWD Autoplant slow in Navisworks properties and export from Navisworks to Synchro not working.</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/617992?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 03 Nov 2020 17:12:31 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:8045d759-0239-4a44-9d75-589b7a8fde3e</guid><dc:creator>Gilbert Hache</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;ok&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;FYI, since the last post, I did more tests...With &amp;quot;some&amp;quot; success...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I tried the export on one of my personal computer, out of the office domain and other network security, etc. I could extract one by one the attached Autoplant files from the NWD. Take about 40-60 hours to export each. Still very-very slow...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, I found other issues importing smartplant file&amp;nbsp; (.vue) in Naviswork. Just crashed and It looked like an Database error to me. I re-installed the Microsoft MDB engine and fixed that issue of reading .vue in navisworks on my domain computers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So after this Database engine fix, I tried it again an export Navisworks to Synchro, on my domain computer again and it worked this time!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Looks like fixing that second issue with smartplant file could have also fix the export on Autoplant files?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(At least I had the files exported...)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I could do the export, BUT, and is a big &amp;quot;but&amp;quot; still days to&amp;nbsp;export&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;them!&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;"&gt;And still have the issues that it is extremely slow to read the properties when I click an object in Naviswork&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I can only assume the database engine fix/install, resolved the issue of not being to exporting the file at all, could have been something else in my system that I am not aware of... Not 100% sure on that one... If someone had the same issues or crashing and want to reinstall the database engine, I am posting the link to it bellow.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you install this engine fix and your export worked after... Let us know by posting your result here.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;PS: to accelerate the export, I split each file exported , EX: from one Autoplant file, selected for the export 1/3 of the layers at one time, repeat for the other layers to export the content in 3 sessions at the same time. Less hours total each to do individual processing and merge them back in synchro after... Caveats not saving all 3 exports Synchro extraction and link content info after in NWF (same file being edited multiple time at once). But in my case, a one time export,&amp;nbsp; I didn&amp;#39;t need that to be saved in the NWF so I was ok with it...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: NWD Autoplant slow in Navisworks properties and export from Navisworks to Synchro not working.</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/617984?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 03 Nov 2020 16:35:26 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:3e29fab9-f4df-4127-a7ae-c56fd22f9eef</guid><dc:creator>Rahul Kumar</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Dear Gilbert,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We don&amp;#39;t do testing on Navisworks so do not have ready environment for testing on our side.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please share your&amp;nbsp;contact details so that we can set up&amp;nbsp;our call to discuss further on this issue.&lt;/p&gt;
