Speckle is your data hub that connects with your AEC tools.
Lightweight geometry
Transfer your multi-source Navisworks model (IFC, Revit, DWG, etc.) into AutoCAD as mesh and curve geometry. Models are loaded into an AutoCAD selection set, with preserved object colors.
Decide what to share
Don’t overload AutoCAD with unnecessary trades. Use Speckle to publish exactly the model segments you need—like the façade or interior details. No need to publish and load an entire file.
Update notifications
Get immediately notified when there’s a change in your Navisworks file or a new version to load in AutoCAD. Keep your team perfectly in sync and working with the latest model.
Smart collaboration
Get your team’s comments as soon as they make them so you can resolve issues immediately. Use Speckle for Navisworks as a model store for federated models from other applications, giving you indefinite 3D access to your projects - long after your other licenses have expired.
Good to know
This workflow is intended for geometric design coordination between different models and disciplines.
By default your Navisworks model is published as a flat list of elements, but can also send it with full hierarchy: this determines the AutoCAD layers that are created on load. Navisworks object properties are published, but will not be loaded in AutoCAD.Text objects are not yet supported.
