Openroads to Navisworks

Are you missing a trick here - Navisworks will open dgn files so you may not need to mess about converting to dwg

Martin

Can Navisworks consume OpenRoads pavement meshes and use it for for clash detection? Navis will open dgn, that is true but it is a big pain with meshes. Some workarounds say to convert meshes to solids with a keyin and use macro to clean it up. I would rather avoid creating additional models and would like to use native default-3d models created with ORD.

Unfortunately it looks navis is becoming industry standard. This affecting OpenRoads users since  they produce meshes... What is your best practice when you need to deal with ORD and Navis?

Thanks for your thoughts.

Sorry, but I can't replicate your problem

This is what I get when I open a dgn in Navisworks

Thanks. It happens my meshes dont; look good in navis. What is your workflow when you have to deliver road models to coordinator working with Navisworks? My preferable soultion would be to provide imodel created out of Dfault-3d model.

Will appraciate you hints and tips.

thanks!
