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.

Whatโ€™s New:
You can now create Data Exchanges directly from Navisworks Manage.

๐Ÿ’กThat 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 โ†’ Navisworks โ†’ 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.
