IFC and model export for Autodesk Navisworks Manage.

Paramora^® Prism

Paramora^® Prism exports coordinated Navisworks NWD, NWF and NWC models to IFC, glTF, OpenUSD and other industry formats. Control the export scope and keep supported model data, processed on your own workstation and never uploaded.

Model delivery, directly from Navisworks.

Delivering coordinated work to project partners often means returning to the source applications, exporting each discipline and reconciling versions.

Model delivery, compared.

Paramora^® Prism exports directly from the coordinated model, with the properties and classification each format supports and a validation summary before handover.

A typical model-delivery workflow compared with Paramora Prism
The deliverable	Typical workflow	With Paramora® Prism
Delivery	TypicalSeparate discipline exports require manual version reconciliation	With PrismOne export from the coordinated model
Geometry	TypicalGeometry and related data may be delivered separately	With PrismGeometry and supported data are delivered together
Properties	TypicalProperty data may require separate mapping or post-processing	With PrismProperty sets remain associated with each element, including source file and original ID
Classification	TypicalClassification may require a separate configuration step	With PrismIFC classes are generated from the default or a custom mapping profile
Scope	TypicalScope may need to be recreated in the receiving workflow	With PrismScope can follow selection, sets, current visibility, or section planes
Validation	TypicalValidation depends on separate checks and reporting	With PrismEach run includes a validation summary, with optional HTML, JSON, CSV, or BCF reports

Model-delivery tasks supported by Paramora^® Prism. Capabilities vary by format and plan.¹

Export formats for project delivery

Eight export formats, each with its own workspace. Format availability and advanced options depend on the plan.¹

Navisworks
model

Paramora®
Prism

The openBIM standard for coordination, checking and handover.
A widely used IFC schema for established delivery and checking workflows.
XML-based IFC for data integration, or compressed IFC for file transfer.
Mesh geometry with materials for design and visualization tools.
Scaled triangle meshes for fabrication preparation and 3D printing.
Scene hierarchy and instancing for visualization and real-time engines.
Compact 3D models for web applications and real-time viewers.
Geometry exchange for established CAD workflows.
Geospatial 3D streaming for GIS applications and digital twins.
Composable scene description for pipelines and simulation.

IFC

Model exchange for coordination, checking, and handover.

Export IFC 4 on every plan, including the 30-day limited trial, and IFC 2x3 from Core.

Property sets on every element, including the source file and original ID
IFC classes generated from the default mapping profile or a custom profile
A validation summary with every run, plus IDS validation from Pro

Included from: Free
Common destinations: Revit, ArchiCAD, Solibri, Tekla Structures and BIMcollab

Export the model as reviewed

Export the entire model or define a scope using selections, saved sets, visibility and section planes. Supported outputs keep their model data, and every export includes a validation summary. Full reports are available on eligible plans.

Advanced mode

Simplified mode covers routine exports. Advanced mode adds detailed control of every stage, followed by a final review.¹

Selection

Define export scope from the model hierarchy, a selection set, or a search set.

Filter the hierarchy, select complete branches, and resolve saved sets to their current members.

Model hierarchy, selection sets and search sets

Validation

An example export run: each stage from reading the model to writing the report, followed by the validation summary.

Fast Export for large models

Fast Export shortens export times on very large models, with the same formats, validation summary and reports as Standard Export. Included from Ultra.

From coordination to handover

Handover
Deliver IFC with property data and classification preserved for project exchange and handover requirements.
IFC
Model checking
Validate the export against an Information Delivery Specification (IDS), then continue review in Solibri, BIMcollab, or BIMvision.
IFC
Fabrication
Produce STL at a defined physical scale for a selected assembly, then verify topology and printability in the fabrication tool.
STL
Visualization
Deliver glTF for web applications or FBX for Unreal Engine, Unity, and 3ds Max while preserving hierarchy.
glTFFBX
GIS and digital twins
Publish georeferenced 3D Tiles for Cesium and ArcGIS workflows.

Plans for individuals, teams, and enterprises

Individual plans are named-user licenses. Team plans start at 5 seats with central seat assignment, and Ultra and Teams Premium add concurrent-use licensing. Enterprise agreements cover organization-wide deployment.
