Explanation

If you open a Power ProStructures DGN file in Navisworks none of the ProStructures elements are visible. To be able to use the Power ProStructures model in Navisworks you need to convert a copy of your model to a Native Solid Drawing model.

For ProStructures Dgn files use from menu “Create Native solid drawing”:

Choose all of the parts.

 

Open this DGN file in Navisworks and the parts are visible.
