Select model items that you want to export (e.g. from Navisworks Selection Tree) and press the Export button. The plugin will create a DWG file that includes PolyfaceMeshes, DSubMeshes, or Blocks based on the selected geometry type.

There are two buttons (less than, greater than) in the left upper corner of the plugin panel. With these buttons, you can select either parents or children of the selected modalities and that way get the desired selection of model items for the exporting process.

The plugin has the following options:

Create Blocks, by selecting this option the plugin will create block references of selected model items that include either PolyfaceMeshes or DSubMeshes based on geometry type selection.

Create Attributes, this option can be selected only with the create blocks option. If this option is selected the plugin will convert data properties of the selected model items into DWG attributes and add them to block references. Attributes to include can be defined in the Attributes tab.

Check for Multiple Instances, by selecting this option the plugin checks for the same model item instances in the model and separates them from each other. The default value is on.

Users can also select which colors and layers to use. If Force Geometry Colors is set to true in the Setting tab, the plugin will use the colors of the geometry nodes. If it is set to false, then the colors of the selected model items are used. If modelitem collection has layer information it can be selected in the Layer Information setting. Another option is to use the layer of the parent node.

This gives you a basic idea of how the plugin is working. Objects in the final DWG file are based on your selection and the plugin will create as many DWG objects as there are selected model items when the process is started.
