What is an NWC File? How to Export NWC from Revit & Civil 3D | BIM Coordination Tutorial

In this video, we explain what an NWC file is and show you the complete step-by-step process to export NWC from Revit and Civil 3D for BIM coordination.

NWC = Navisworks Cache File — the lightweight, compressed format used by Autodesk Navisworks for clash detection and model coordination. It’s 70-90% smaller than a native .rvt or .dwg file and loads 5-10x faster.
What you’ll learn:What is an NWC file and why BIM coordinators use it instead of .rvt

How to export NWC from Civil 3D using the NAVISWORKSEXPORT command Best export settings for coordinates, geometry, and linked files

Common mistakes that cause model misalignment in NavisworksWhy NWC matters: It improves performance, gives you data control before sharing, and is the standard format for BIM 360 and Autodesk Construction Cloud workflows.Perfect for BIM Coordinators, Revit Users, Civil 3D Users, MEP Engineers, Structural Engineers, and Architecture students working on construction projects.
