Autodesk Navisworks

[IronHorse]

Have made a storage building as assembly. The new program NavisWorks should

let you walk around in this building. I called our cad support but they said

that all textures dissapear when you import to Navis? In my point of view

that reduce the experience quiet much? Is It not any way to keep these?

You can retain textures in Navisworks. There's an option to keep them, but then again I'm not using Inventor so I'm not 100% positive on how it works. AutoCAD and Revit works fine. You can even render in Navisworks, but for the best results I think Showcase will be a better application.

I have never used Navisworks or Revit, but with 2013 there are two different colors/textures libraries Inventor can use - the legacy type or the new Autodesk Appearance library that should be shared across all Autodesk products.

Go to Tools >Appearance....

Also note that you can still apply textures and materials once it's in Navisworks.
