This converter allows you to import a project designed with NavisWorks either to view it or to rely on its data to go further in the operational management of a building, a factory or any other study currently being done. It meets the needs of construction professionals to carry out dimensioning computations and determine the best possible construction method and generally all stakeholders who wish to monitor a project.  According to Datakit, NavisWorks underlines the path of interoperability across design, BIM and project management it has always defended since its creation in 1994. With its converter, you will import a NavisWorks project to view it in your available software. You will retrieve a complete scene in an instant and be able to leverage design data, geometry, colours and textures, as well as components (with their exact placements in the project) and the appropriate units of measurement regardless of the origin of the project.
