Datakit Updates its Converters

The release 2023.4 from Datakit supports new versions of Parasolid, (36.0), Unigraphics (NX2306 series) and V2.0 release of Fusion 360 (2.0.01774 up to 2.0.16985) and offers a new converter for Rhino to NavisWorks. 

It proposes a bundle including converters to import files from:

• IFC (*.ifc, *.ifcxml, *.ifczip),
• Revit (*.rvt.)
• NavisWorks (*nwd)

to Rhino.

NavisWorks to Rhino Converter

View: it enables designers to view a NavisWorks project within Rhino. Users retrieve a complete scene in an instant and are able to leverage design data, geometry, colors and textures, as well as components (with their exact placements in the project). The converter takes into account the appropriate measurement units regardless the origin of the project.      

Design: it also allows designers to import a NavisWorks file to go further in the construction of a building, a factory or any other study currently be done.

It takes into account the way NavisWorks manages compression and respects instantiation and tessellation features. 

Datakit has been offering converters for Autodesk REVIT BIM software or the IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) format for several years and guarantees compatibility with the latest versions of software products but also with their previous versions. Version 2023.4 of Datakit converters includes performance optimizations, particularly for these two BIM formats.

In addition, Datakit decided to modify its different bundles (import and export) dedicated to Rhino. Prices as well as contents of the packages have been changed.
