You can bring the Navisworks file into AutoCAD as a coordination reference.  You can filter what shows up by trades materials etc. and use view elevations to control what level shows up. The NWD may have originally been created from a combination of any number of different programs from solidworks to AutoCAD but it was not actually created in Navisworks. The structure may be one program and the architecture another but you should be able to get more useful individual files from someone.

 I was sent a project with a Navisworks file (nwd).  I am being told that this is all there is, that there are no other files.  No CAD, nothing.
Has anyone else run into this?  If so, how do you use the NWD file to create sprinkler plans?
