Viewing 3D models from Navisworks in PowerPoint presentations.

You can insert a 3D model from the coordination application Autodesk Navisworks (included in some Autodesk Design Suites) to your PPT/PPTx PowerPoint presentation and interactively rotate and zoom the model during the presentation. For this you need a Navisworks ActiveX component installed on the presentation computer.

Steps to insert and view a Navisworks model in a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation:

Switch on the Developer tab in MS PowerPoint
- right-click anywhere on the ribbon and choose the option "Customize the Ribbon":
- enable the Developer tab (Vyvojar in CZ):
In PowerPoint, go to the slide where you want to display the model and in the Developer tab, choose "More Controls" (hammer):
In the dialog "More Controls", select the control "Navisworks Integrated Control" (all installed versions are shown) and confirm by OK:
Draw the border for displaying of your model:
Right-click on the drawn area and choose the Properties option:
In the Properties control, add the file path to your NWD file (published from Navisworks) in the field SRC:
Close the Properties dialog. In the running presentation, the respective slide loads and displays the 3D model - and you can view it interactively (the control functions are available on mouse right-click under Viewpoint > Navigation Mode):

For the above described functionality, you need to have Autodesk Navisworks Manage or Simulation installed, in the same bitness version (32/64) as your Microsoft Office.
