TECHNICAL NOTES///

Conversation-specific knowledge extracted from the navisworks fbx blender issues discussion.

EXTRACTED KNOWLEDGE / HOW-TOFROM CONVERSATION

QUESTION / CONTEXTI REALLY NEED A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT FROM NAVIS WORKS AS A MODEL. I DONT NEED TO EDIT IT OR ANi JUST NEED LOCATIONS OF SMALL IMPORTANT PARTS. USING FBX AND BLENDER I AM GETTING THIS

IMPORTANT GUIDANCE

  1. The NWD contains a mixture of:
  2. Real CAD geometry
  3. Coordination geometry
  4. Point cloud / scan data
  5. Proxy objects
  6. Vendor equipment models
  7. Navisworks FBX export tessellates everything into triangles.
  8. Blender imports exactly what it receives. If the source geometry is already broken, Blender cannot magically reconstruct it. [embedded media omitted]

Extracted from the conversation’s assistant responses and edited for public clarity. See the released note for additional redacted excerpts.
