| NavisWorks Project Format | Autodesk | CAD Files |
The NWF (Navisworks File Set) file extension is associated with a native 3D data and model format used by Autodesk Navisworks Freedom. This proprietary and extensible file format (.NWF) stores 3D models to improve the workflow between different disciplines in an engineering or construction project. Navisworks file sets generally contain several related files encoded in a special zip-based compression format for more efficient transfer between any two endpoints.
The NWF file, which contains the 3D model data, integrates various design elements such as architects CAD drawings, point clouds, scanned photographs, GIS maps and survey information across different disciplines in a single digital package. The.NWF file set helps to capture more accurate and detailed field construction documentation. Based on the 3D model stored in NWF file set, users can check conflicts among various design elements, simulate construction processes and measure quantities from a single digital source.
Similar File Extensions
Similar formats used by Autodesk Navisworks include .NWD, .NWC, NW09, NW12, NW14, NW15, NW17, etc.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .NWF) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .NWF extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .NWF file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .NWF extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .NWF extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .NWF file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .NWF file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .NWF file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .NWF file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .NWF file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
