• Native A check in this column means object properties of the native model are supported in Navisworks. This may include items such as material colors, layers, and other specifics.

• Properties A check in this column means Navisworks can import the properties associated with an object and insert them in the properties tab in Navisworks.

• Other An entry in this column means the file must be exported to one of the listed file formats so that it can be imported into Navisworks.
