Navisworks to Rhino

navisworks to rhino

Speckle is your data hub that connects with your AEC tools.

Instantly sync your design team: get everybody on the same page.

Lightweight geometry

Transfer your multi-source Navisworks model (IFC, Revit, DWG, etc.) into Rhino as mesh and curve geometry. Models are loaded into its own Rhino layer, with preserved object colors.

Decide what to share

Don’t overload Rhino 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 Rhino. 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 determine the Rhino layers that are created on load.
Navisworks object properties are published, but will not be loaded in Rhino.
Text objects are not yet supported.
