Are you struggling with coordinating 3D models and managing clashes in your construction projects? Navisworks, a powerful project review software, can help you streamline your workflow and improve collaboration among project stakeholders. In this video, we will guide you through the Navisworks workflow and show you how to make the most of its features.
1. Importing 3D Models: The first step in the Navisworks workflow is to import 3D models from various design software such as AutoCAD, Revit, or MicroStation. Navisworks supports a wide range of file formats, allowing you to consolidate all project data into a single platform.
2. Navigating the Model: Once the models are imported, you can easily navigate through the 3D environment using the intuitive navigation tools in Navisworks. This allows you to visualize the project from different perspectives and identify potential clashes or coordination issues.
3. Clash Detection: Navisworks offers powerful clash detection capabilities, allowing you to identify and resolve clashes between different building systems. You can run clash tests based on predefined rules and filters, enabling you to address coordination issues before they cause delays and rework on site.
4. Timeliner and Quantification: In addition to clash detection, Navisworks provides tools for project scheduling and quantity takeoff. The Timeliner feature allows you to create 4D construction simulations by linking 3D model components to project schedules, while the Quantification tool helps you extract accurate material quantities for cost estimation.
5. Collaborating and Reporting: Navisworks enables seamless collaboration among project team members by allowing them to share and review project data in a centralized environment. You can create custom reports and visualizations to communicate project status and coordinate work with subcontractors and suppliers.
6. Integrating with Other Software: Navisworks can be integrated with other construction software such as BIM 360 and Autodesk Recap, providing a comprehensive solution for BIM coordination and construction management.
By mastering the Navisworks workflow, you can improve project efficiency, reduce rework, and minimize construction costs. Whether you are a BIM coordinator, construction manager, or design professional, Navisworks can help you optimize your project workflow and deliver successful construction projects.
