2. FILE>EXPORT>NWC 3. Click on Navisworks Settings

5. 4. Match settings as shown bellow
5. You can export all discipline(architecture, structure, MEPF from one file with this setting.
6. If you need to categorise discipline individually you need to export files individually from all Revit
files. For this just change marked setting as number 6
