What Prism does
Paramora Prism™ is a Windows plugin for Autodesk Navisworks Manage. It reads the open coordinated model and converts the selected content locally to the chosen output format. The source model is not uploaded for conversion.
- Export IFC, OBJ/MTL, STL, FBX, glTF/GLB, DXF, OpenUSD or 3D Tiles according to your plan.
- Limit the job to the whole federation, current selection, visibility, saved/search sets, source models or a current section.
- Use repeatable target settings, deterministic semantic mapping and optional recognition controls.
- Run post-write checks and keep a validation summary with the delivered model.
