Usage of Navigation tool , Timeliner and Clash Detection test using Naviswork
AIM_1: Use the Architecture/ Structure Project file developed by you in weeks 6 to 8. Export the Revit architecture and structure model to the Navisworks Cache file following the export settings discussed in class
PROCEDURE:
- Go to the Revit file created in project 2.
- Go to the File option and select export.
- Then click on the NWS format of the file and save it at a designated location.
- Now follow this for both architectural and structural files.
- Now open the Navisworks software and append both the files.
- Thus both the files are added to the navisworks.
RESULTS: Both the files were exported to the Navisworks software. Please have a look at the below snips for more clarity.

AIM_2: Use Navigate Tool to walk around the model and walk through the rooms created and record your moving as animation in your Navisworks file
PROCEDURE:
- Open the file and go to the viewpoint from where you wish to start the walk.
- Click on the save viewpoint option.
- Now start recording the walk.
- Walk to all the necessary views using the arrows or mouse.
- After the whole walk is completed stop the recording.
- Now check the animation in the animation tab.
- Export the file as a windows AVI type to save it as a video.
- Please have a look at the below snips for more animations.
RESULTS: A walkthrough animation video was created using the navisworks software.

AIM_3: Use Navigate tool to use the Realism feature to walk through the model and record your moving as animation in the Navisworks file
PROCEDURE:
- Open the file and go to the viewpoint from where you wish to start the walk.
- Now go to the viewpoint tab and click on the realism tab.
- Select third-person view and the person appears.
- Click on the save viewpoint option.
- Now start recording the walk.
- Walk to all the necessary views using the arrows or mouse.
- After the whole walk is completed stop the recording.
- Now check the animation in the animation tab.
- Export the file as a windows AVI type to save it as a video.
- Please have a look at the below snips for more animations.
RESULTS: An animated walkthrough was created by using a third-person's point of view in the Navisworks software.

AIM_4: Embed both architecture and structure *.nwc file to your Navisworks file. Create a clash detection test between the two models
a. Run the Clash Detection Test
b. Study the clashes between the two models
c. List which of the clashes could be approved
d. List which of the clashes could be neglected ( will be taken care of later)
e. List which of the clashes can be resolved
f. Save the results after color-coding the clashes to the Navisworks file
g. In case of resolution annotate the clash and save the view to defined views in Navisworks
PROCEDURE:
- Now go to the home tab.
- Click on the clash detection test.
- A dialog box appears.
- Add the test and add architectural and structural files to run the tests for.
- A number of clashes appear.
- Now sort them as per active, reviewed or solved, etc.
- Thus the clashes were found and sorted.
- Please have a look at the below snips for more clarity.
RESULTS: The clashes between the structural file and architectural file were found out and sorted.
SNIPS:
AIM_5: Using the Timeline feature in Navisworks prepare a schedule for the project developed in weeks 6 to 8 by adding reasonable assumptions for task start date and end date and simulate the task completion as a visual simulation. Record it and save the timeline simulation to the Navisworks file
PROCEDURE:
- Now go to the home tab.
- Click on the timeline option.
- A dialog box appears.
- Add the task and add the particular time of days to complete that respective task.
- Once all the tasks are added, click on the stimulate option.
- An animated video representing how the work will flow is created.
RESULTS: A timeline is created of the construction work for the whole building using the navisworks software. Please have a look at the below snips for more clarity.
