Converting from .NWD to .GDB

​@snh_1_fme 

You will need to share some more information on the type of data in your Navisworks distribution file (nwd) and what kind of geodatabase is it?

Are the feature classes with the geometries already defined in the geodatabase for ready use or FME needs to create the geodatabase from scratch?

Thanks for responding ​@raghavendrans 

Am fairly new to .nwd file type but the model is split across 15 or so disciplines with vertical structure. Most objects are just 3D solids. I am creating a new geodatabase so that is completely flexible 

Let me know if you need more specifics 

Hi ​@snh_1_fme thanks for your question. Glad to hear that you want to integrate your Navisworks with FME. Sounds like your data is 3D with various types. A geodatabase has some restrictions on geometry types that it supports, so you may want to check our documentation and your data to see what FME detects your data as. If the GDB doesn’t support that geometry you can transform the data into a compatible geometry before writing to the GDB in FME. 

Are you able to inspect the data in FME Data Inspector or within Workbench in the Visual Preview? If so, going to the Feature Information Window will let you know what geometry it is. 

What error are you getting right now? What does it look like in ArcGIS when you try to open it?
