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.

• Open the revit file that need to be converted to .NWC file type.
• File>Export>Nwc

Result:

.Rvt > >Nwc

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

Append the model

Home Tab>Project panel>Append.

Go to viewpoint tab>Save, Load, Playback panel>Animation.

Go to Viewpoint tab>Navigate panel>walk option

3) Use Navigate tool to use Realism feature to walk through the model and record your moving as animation in Navisworks file.

Go to Viewpoint tab>Navigate panel>third person

*use walk or fly to navigate the person and use animation to record.

Result:

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 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

• By using append option open the architecture and structure files simultaneously.

• Go to home>tools panel>Clash detective.

• Click add test to run the clash detective

• As per the example there are 17 clashes detected.
• Update the clash by

1. New
2. Active
3. reviewed
4. Approved
5. Resolved

• Status of the clashes

• Go to report tab to extract the clash report

• Extracted report (HTML tabular form)

5) Using the Timeliner feature in Navisworks prepare a schedule for the project developed in week 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 Navisworks file.

• Go to home>tools panel>Timeliner.
• Create sets to add in the time liner schedule.
• Set creation: select the components to create set and click save selection.

• Enter the dates in the planned start and planned end column.

• Go to the simulate tab to extract the timeliner in video format.
