What’s New

This is a weekly release including support for the Navisworks NWD file format plus bug fixes.

Navisworks NWD Native Support

Users can now import and visualized Navisworks NWD files natively in Reality Cloud Studio. This further expands the robust list of file types that Reality Cloud Studio supports offering users seamless integration of their 3D NWD files.

NWD files are generally more compact than original CAD files allowing them to contain all of the relevant data in a smaller and more efficient package, perfect for loading into Reality Cloud Studio for project stakeholders to review in parallel with scan data. Working with NWD files prevents users from needing to exchange the original source files throughout their organization which can lead to duplicate files and different versions causing confusion, rework and miscommunication.

NWD files are fully compatible with limit boxes, GeoTags, Measurements and all other Reality Cloud STudio tools.

NWD files can be uploaded via the browser or HxDR Data Flow. NWD files originating from Navisworks versions 2016-2025 are supported.

For initial implementation, only the geometry of the NWD file is displayed, the metadata is not retained. Metadata will be retained as an improvement.

Bug Fixes

• Addressed a stability bug within the meshing tool that caused instability on large assets (>200GB). Fix is applicable to all file types.

• Fixed a bug that caused publicly shared links to briefly display an error before resolving and directing to the correct Asset.

• Fixed a bug that caused the point cloud blending visualization option to be re-enabled when switching between point cloud and pano viewing modes.

Known Issues

• Reality Cloud Studio is currently limited to 32 artifacts on a given asset. Repeated exports of an asset may exceed this limit.
