Usage of Navigation tool , Timeliner and Clash Detection test using Naviswork

1) Use the Architecture/ Structure Project file developed by you in Week 6 to 8. Export the Revit architecture and structure model to Navisworks Cache file following the export settings discussed in class :

AIM & INTODUCTION :

AIM :

• To Export the Revit Architectural and Structural model to Navisworks Cache file by using the project file developed in Week 6 to 8.

INTRODUCTION :

• In naviswork, we can open the 3D models created from the Revit by exporting the Revit file as NWC file.

• The Export of the Revit file can be saved as both Architectural and Structural File separately.

• The saved NWC file can be opened from the Naviswork Software and view the entire model easily.

• We can explore the interiors of the entire 3D model through the Walk and Realism Tool.

• Also, the visiting of the 3D model can be Recorded with the Record Tool. So, we can save it as a video and watch.

• We can append the Both separately saved Architectural and Structural NWC file into the NavisWork workspace and analyse Clash detection.

• By using the Clash detective tool, Clash detection of the building model can be analysed.

• The detected clash can be customized, whether it is approved, resolved, reviewed, Active.

• Followed by the Timeliner tool is used to see the time required to finish the Whole 3D model.

• This Timeliner tool helps to create a visual video of the construction of the every parts of the building model by giving the start and end date.

PROCEDURE :

• Open the Revit software and from open < Week 8 (Architectural model).

• Then try to export the file as NWC file from File < Export < NWC with appropriate name as "Architectural file".

• Likewise, from File < Open < Week 8 (Structural Model).

• And export the file as NWC file from File < Export < NWC with appropriate name as "Structural file".

RESULT :

1. ARCHITECTURAL PROJECT FILE :

2. STRUCTURAL PROJECT FILE :

• The Timeline tool will be evoked from Home < TimeLiner and click it to open the Timeliner tab.

• Followed by open Selection Tree tool from the Home < Selection Tree.

• In Selection Tree, we can see the Levels and elements of the both Architectural and Structural files.

• Then Add Task in Timeliner tab and give the appropriate name and attach the appropriate building stage to schedule it.

• Such as the given name of the First task is Footing, the select the Footing from the Structural File and attach it to the First task.

• Like that add new tasks and give appropriate name as per the new construction after the footing upto Roof.

• After Completing the tasks upto the Roof, then try to add Start date and End date of the Scheduled Construction.

• The Start and End date of the Schedule varies such as Planned Start, Planned End, Actual Start and Actual End.

• Then change the Task type as Construct for all the tasks created.

• After creating ther schedule with appropriate start and end date upto roof, we can stimulate the schedule as visual video as stage by stage construction.

• The stimulation of the Visual video of the schedule is evoked by clicking the Stimulate option near configure at Timeliner tab.

• Here, we can play and stop the visual video of the Timeliner featured Schedule.

• We can also Export the Animation video of the Schedule by selecting the Export Animation Button at the Top right corner of the Timeliner tab.
