I have this issue when I append my model as a dwg into navis it doesn't show the pipe. I append in navis so I can do a live refresh as needed.

No it's not showing up. It's like an Object Enabler or something is not working.

Did you recently upgrade? 

If you upgraded Navisworks first, before doing Fabrication, Navis doesn't know about the 2017 Object Enabler.

First time yes then we uninstalled both and reinstalled Autocad and getting fabrication running first. Navis after fabrication was working.

in Navisworks, go to OPTIONS --> File Readers --> DWG/DXF...

Change "DWG Loader Version" to 2017.  (it's 3/4's of the way down.)
