Navisworks 101

Get started with Navisworks. A tool by Autodesk used for coordination, clash detection, construction visualization and quantity surveying.

What you'll learn
Description
Why take this course
Navisworks is a powerful BIM review program. It allows architects,
engineers, and construction professionals to combine and analyze
integrated models with stakeholders during preconstruction phases.
Navisworks shrinks large Revit models into a manageable size making it
an efficient tool to review and resolve differences between multiple
consultant models. It also permits clients to interact with the model
easily through Navisworks File viewer and allows them to understand
and visualize their project in real-time.
Being able to coordinate efficiently between different parties is
paramount to delivering a great project on time and within budget, so
don’t miss out on learning the basics in this Navisworks fundamentals
course!
Learn how to improve your BIM coordination skills
Managing and reviewing big clunky files with clients is troublesome
and bombarding them with the full 3d Revit project database can be
overwhelming. Navisworks has a free file viewer version clients can
use to easily review models. Clients can also take basic measurements
and interact with the model to get a better understanding of it.
Knowing Navisworks will significantly improve your coordination skills
with clients and optimize decision-making in the construction process.
“Navisworks allows stakeholders to visualize project data in 3D
coordinated BIM models at a granular level. It detects and resolves
space, sequence, and other functional clashes at pre-construction stage,
ensuring informed project control and error-free construction.”
Improving your parametric engineering skills with Karmaba 3D greatly
improves the efficiency to cycle through structural options and quickly
check the structural performance of your project.

Improves collision detection
One of the most difficult tasks in designing a project is the
proper placement of elements and entities. Avoiding collision and
clashes between elements is a laborious task that often relies on
manual processes, such as superimposing large drawings on light
tables. Navisworks significantly speeds up this process as it can
detect soft clashes, hard clashes, and workflow clashes in
real-time.
Reduction of RFI volume
The old practice of avoiding clash detection significantly
increases the volume of RFI or Request For Information in an
organization. Luckily Navisworks offers an advanced BIM solution
to mitigate this issue. It optimizes your activities and allows
for better control, giving greater guarantees of the best outcome.
Coordinate more effectively with clients
Collaborating and coordinating project information with other
parties is at times difficult but important to guarantee projects
get delivered efficiently and on time. Navisworks offers a free
file viewer clients can use to interact with the project, take
basic measurements and visualize the design. This allows the
design team and the client to work closely together efficiently
and take quick decisions.
Overall cost reduction of your project
Delays in project completion lead to time and money loss and
frustration between parties. This in return can drastically impact
the profits gained from realizing a project. Navisworks helps to
reduce these delays by simplifying the collaboration and sharing
of models and workflows. It has one-click solutions to understand,
visualize and avoid misalignments of elements and quickly resolve
them.
