Products and versions covered

Issue:

Users reported that when the Selection Tree (browser) does not show the subelements of the RCP file when opened in Navisworks through DWG.
The behavior changed from Navisworks 2023.

Behavior in Navisworks 2024 (left) and Navisworks 2023 (right):
DWG with linked RCP in NW 2024

Solution:

To see the subelements of the RCP file in the Selection Tree, import the DWG in Navisworks 2023 and save it to the NWD file for use in the newer version of Navisworks.

Note: When importing DWG with a linked RCP file, the ReCap file reader settings are used for the RCP file, and the point cloud is not included in the NWC.
