Thanks to for his post, reposted here from LinkedIn

That Navisworks can now create Autodesk Data Exchanges, is a big step forward for interoperability.

Data Exchanges use a neutral format that works across any application with a connector, including:
Autodesk tools – Revit, Inventor, Civil3D, Navisworks, AutoCAD and Dynamo
Other design tools – Rhino, Grasshopper, SolidWorks and Tekla
Business applications – Power Automate and Power BI

Once created, an exchange can be shared between these applications without needing to convert files.

What’s New:
You can now create Data Exchanges directly from Navisworks Manage.

💡That means any format supported by Navisworks can now feed into other connected tools.

Here I took advantage of another recently released feature: the scan to mesh workflow using ReCap Pro.

ReCap → Navisworks → PowerBI

This allows point clouds to be converted to segmented meshes, and exported as native Navisworks and Revit files.

In PowerBI I can now dashboard all design components across a project, not just Revit files.

Think Point Clouds, SketchUp, MicroStation and more.
