NWC is a cache file. “When you open a CAD file in Navisworks, by default, a corresponding cache file (NWC) is created, which contains all of the conversion details required by Navisworks. When you subsequently open that CAD file in Navisworks, it will check to see whether a cache file is available. If it is, […]
NWD designates the published version of a Navisworks file with all loaded models, viewpoints, redlines, and comments saved to a single file. This file type can be opened with any of the Navisworks products including Navisworks Freedom (the free viewer). [1] [1] The Massachusetts Port Authority, 2015.

When saving to a “Navisworks file format (NWF), only a list with pointers to the files currently loaded is saved, along with the scene’s environment, the current view, clash results, if available, and favorite viewpoints (including redlines and comments). To open an NWF file, a Navisworks product is required, such as Review, Simulate, or Manage […]
