Navisworks imports some ACAD as wire frame 1

[victroladoctor]

When I open and/or merge and/or append some Acad files into Navisworks some of the objects come in as wire frame instead of solids. What can I do to correst this?

Thanks

Are you sure that they're 3D solid objects in AutoCAD and not merely lines representing the edges?

Yes they are solids. I found out about Object Enablers and need to down load the correct ones. I believe the file I received was an ACAD MEP. My ACAD Arch 2010 displayed them correctly although my ACAD 2008 did not.

Thanks

Ah yes. Navis needs the object enablers or the software installed on the system that creates the .nwc file. You could probably do a SaveAs in ACAD Arch.
