Model delivery, directly from Navisworks.
Coordination teams bring models from Revit, Tekla, Civil 3D, and other authoring tools into Navisworks for review. Delivering that work to project partners often means returning to the source applications, exporting each discipline, and reconciling versions.
Paramora Prism™ exports directly from the coordinated model. Define the scope, choose the required format, and retain the properties and classification that format supports. Pre-export checks and a validation summary help teams assess the deliverable before handover. Model content stays on the workstation throughout.

Export the model as reviewed
Export the entire model or define a scope using selections, saved sets, visibility, and section planes. Supported outputs retain property sets, source references, original IDs, and classification. Every export includes a validation summary; eligible plans also provide HTML, JSON, CSV, and BCF reports.
Advanced mode
Use Simplified mode for routine exports. Advanced mode adds detailed control of selection, source models, output format, geometry, data, and validation, 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
- Select All and Clear controls, with selection by branch
- A live count of selected branches
Models
Choose source models and apply section boundaries.
Review source files and element counts, exclude models from the export, and choose whether section cuts are capped or left open.
- Source-model exclusions with an individual control for each file
- Entire model, current selection, a selection set or the current section box
- Section cuts capped or left open
- Filters for hidden items, geometry-only content, and clash-only proxies
Target
Set the file name, schema, model view, and output format.
Choose IFC 4 or IFC 2x3 with the corresponding model view definition, then export as IFC, ifcZIP, or ifcXML in a combined file or separate files by source model.
- Project, site and building names
- Schema, model view and file format
- Navisworks coordinates or a manual map conversion with a defined origin offset
Geometry
Configure how geometry is represented in the exported file.
Select tessellated mesh, faceted BRep, or bounding boxes; choose meters or millimeters and set the required coordinate precision.
- Coordinate precision from 2 to 8 decimal places
- Optional welding of coincident vertices
- Smart geometry recognition for cylinders, boxes, extrusions and fittings
Data
Control which model data is preserved with the geometry.
Select standard property sets, quantities, and Navisworks property tabs, then configure identity and classification policies.
- Pset_*Common, BaseQuantities and Navisworks element properties
- Identity, source path, classification decisions, and external-sharing controls
- GUID source, company mapping profiles and smart classification
Checks
Identify delivery issues before the export is written.
Choose pre-export checks, review blocking errors and advisory warnings, and validate against an Information Delivery Specification (IDS). Select the report format for each run.
- Schema compliance, GUID uniqueness, geometry validity, required properties, unit consistency
- Validation against an IDS requirements file
- Report format and automatic halt on blocking failures
Review
Confirm the export settings before starting.
Confirm the deliverable, scope, geometry, target, and data settings in one summary. Each heading links back to its configuration section.
