Navisworks Manage – Materials

Sometimes materials may not show properly in Navisworks.

Things to look for:

• Make sure the correct Texture Space is applied for the object.
  Depending on the shape of the object a different texture space is required. In the case of a fence it appears that a plane texture space works best, which is what is shown above.
• Use the Edit button, and make sure the Normal and Up directions are correct. In picture above the Normal values are incorrect. They should be 1,0,0 instead of 0.02,0.005,0.9 that Navisworks chose to use.

Here’s the picture of the fence with better settings.
