In Revit, the Navisworks File Exporter is grayed out on the ribbon menu
ID: TS15175410
Issue
When you attempt to access the Navisworks exporter from the Revit > Add-ins > External Tools menu option, the Navisworks 2011/2010 option is grayed out and unusable.
Solution
In order for the exporters to be selectable and usable in Revit, you need to ensure the following:
1.) You are in a 3d view of your model
2.) You do not have a building tool selected (press escape to exit out of any active tool)
Now, when you click Revit > Add-ins > External Tools, the Navisworks 2010/2011 option should be available for use.
When you attempt to use the Navisworks exporter in Revit, a “localization” error displays.
