The features of Autodesk® Navisworks® products for construction project review enable co-ordination, construction simulation and whole-project analysis for construction project management. Autodesk® Navisworks® Simulate, Autodesk® Navisworks® Manage and Autodesk® Navisworks® Freedom software include tools to simulate and optimise scheduling, identify and co-ordinate clashes and interferences, collaborate with project teams and gain insight into potential problems before construction begins.
What’s New
| Improved Revit Interoperability
Interoperability enhancements help to increase your productivity when working with Autodesk® Revit® software products and Navisworks. - Read native .RVT files directly within Navisworks and use the Navisworks Batch Utility automation toolset.
- Organise model components using the Revit hierarchy of Category, Family, Type and Instance.
- Import Revit gridlines and levels into Navisworks when you visualise and analyse your projects.
|
| TimeLiner Enhancements
Gain greater control and flexibility when creating 5D simulations. - Add cost data to your project schedule to simulate, visualise and better understand accumulated costs during construction.
- Drag and drop objects and selection sets onto your schedule to create associations quickly and easily between the model and tasks.
- Add and edit parent and child tasks in the TimeLiner hierarchy for greater flexibility when creating and maintaining your project schedule.
- Export to ProjectXML to support interoperability with common scheduling applications such as Primavera and Microsoft® Project software.
|
| Clash Detection Enhancements
Clash detection enhancements enable better support management and resolution of project clashes. - Group and filter clashes using level and grid location.
- Improved filtering and sorting tools to better manage large volumes of clashes.
- Extend and tailor the clash toolset to help meet your project and business requirements with the new Clash Detective API (application programming interface).
- A new Clash Detective interface for better accessibility and discoverability of clash features.
|
| New Grid and Level Support
Use grids and levels imported from your design application to visualise, analyse and co-ordinate your project. - Import multiple grids and levels from Revit software products and select the grid system you want to use for your review session.
- Use the grid navigation and orientation toolset when undertaking real-time walk-throughs of models.
- Sort, group and report clashes found during co-ordination by grid location and level.
|
| Additional Construction Project Review Enhancements - Use the new Selection Inspector to quickly list, report and export selected objects and properties you define.
- Enhanced integration with Autodesk® Vault software for project data management, including Vault project browser, extended file format support, advanced search and document status.
- Additional features in Navisworks Freedom include sectioning and embedded Datatools properties.
- Autodesk RapidRT rendering and improved Autodesk Consistent Materials support.
