#AUTODESK REVIT 2018 HELP UPGRADE#
Models created in previous versions of Revit software products may require more available memory for the one-time upgrade process.ĭirectX® 11 capable graphics card with Shader Model 3.Ī list of certified cards can be found on the Autodesk Certified Hardware page.ĭownload or installation from DVD9 or USB key.Individual models will vary in their use of computer resources and performance characteristics. This estimate is based on internal testing and customer reports. Usually sufficient for a typical editing session for a single model up to approximately 100 MB on disk.Highest affordable CPU speed rating recommended.Īutodesk Revit software products will use multiple cores for many tasks, using up to 16 cores for near-photorealistic rendering operations. Single- or Multi-Core Intel® Pentium®, Xeon®, or i-Series processor or AMD® equivalent with SSE2 technology. Because textures are not included with the coordination model, it cannot be rendered as part of a Revit view.Enterprise, Ultimate, Professional, or Home Premium.Remove (delete) the coordination model from the Revit model.Reload the coordination model to reflect recent updates.When you reload the model, it reloads to the same position and orientation. Unload the coordination model to temporarily remove it from the model (for example, to improve performance).Export the coordination model to an image as part of a Revit view.Print the coordination model as part of a Revit view.For worksharing, add the coordination model to a workset.Use the Visibility/Graphics dialog to set its visibility and define transparency. Define transparency for the coordination model to distinguish it from the Revit model.Define phasing for the coordination model.Pin the coordination model to lock it in place, so it does not inadvertently move in relation to the Revit model.Display the coordination model in 3D views and 2D views, including plans, elevations, and sections.To select the coordination model more easily, use the Select elements by face option.The Properties palette displays the file path, name, and other properties for the coordination model. When you select the box, the status bar displays the family and type Coordination Model: Navisworks Model, followed by the Navisworks model name. It is surrounded by a bounding box, which displays when you move the cursor over the coordination model. When you link a coordination model into a Revit model, the coordination model displays in the current view. Open and navigate other views to see the coordination model from different viewpoints. (Optional) Select the linked model, move it to the desired location, and pin it in place so it is not inadvertently moved out of place.į. The linked model displays in the currently active view.ġ. Navigate to the target NWD or NWC file, select it, and click Open.Į. In the Coordination Model dialog, click Add.Ĭ. Click Insert tab > Link panel > (Coordination Model).ī. In Revit, link to the NWD file or its corresponding NWC cache file, as follows:Ī.In Navisworks, do the following: (If an NWD file is provided skip this step).For a list of supported CAD file formats, see the Navisworks help. Obtain a file containing the model created using other CAD software (or request a NWD file of the model be provided).Link a file from Navisworks and use it as a reference for a Revit model, providing context for the design: They appear in all views including sections or elevations, floor plans and 3D views. Coordination models support Absolute and Relative path types.Ĭoordination models render using native Navisworks engine which currently supports a consistent shading display. This exciting new functionality also allows for any file formats that are supported by Navisworks to be included within the coordination model link.Ĭoordination models can be inserted using origin to origin or shared coordinate positioning. When project data includes Navisworks® NWD and NDC files, you can now link these models into your Revit projects for coordination purposes. Coordination models provide an excellent means to visually coordinate with outside teams who provide files that are not in native Revit® format.
