Title:

Enhancing Collaboration and Coordination in Construction Projects with Navisworks Manage

5. The "Holy Grail" Viewer (Redlining & Viewpoints)

  • Reduces onsite clashes and rework through early detection.
  • Centralizes multidisciplinary coordination and communication.
  • Improves scheduling accuracy with 4D simulations.
  • Streamlines handovers and stakeholder reviews with shareable NWDs.
  • Enhances accountability with clash assignment and tracking.
  1. Collect files: Export discipline models from design tools (Revit, AutoCAD, IFC exports).
  2. Create a new Navisworks project: Open Navisworks Manage and append all discipline models.
  3. Set up file organization: Use Selection Tree and Saved Viewpoints to organize trades and levels.
  4. Run clash tests: Configure Clash Detective rules (tolerance, test types), run tests, and prioritize results.
  5. Review & assign: Create clash viewpoints, add comments, assign clashes to responsible parties, and set statuses.
  6. Iterate: Receive updated discipline models, re-append, re-run tests, and update clash statuses.
  7. 4D Simulation (optional): Link model elements to schedule tasks in Timeliner and run simulations to validate sequencing.
  8. Report & publish: Export clash reports and NWD/NWF bundles for meetings and stakeholder review.

Using the built-in Quantification module, users can perform automated takeoffs directly from the aggregated model. naviswork manage
