Exchanging Navisworks File Types

Hello,

I'm trying to convert a Navisworks file to a format that can be imported into a Bentley product, but I'm having trouble with file size. The NWD file is 148 MB, and the exported FBX file is 1.7 GB, which is too large to be manageable.

I have access to several software packages including Autodesk, Trimble, and Bentley, but I don't have access to tools like 3D Object Converter, AnyCAD Exchange3D, or Okino PolyTrans.

Does anyone have any suggestions for how I can successfully convert the Navisworks file to a format that can be imported into Bentley, or for ways to reduce the file size of the FBX export? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

  • Import the NWD into iTwim then export that to IFC. you can then reference the ifc into a DGN and merge to master.

  • If you have Trimble do you have Quadri, if so you could use that
