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: Using the Architecture/ Structure project file developed and exporting the Revit architecture and structure model to the Naviswork cache file following the export settings.
Commands used:
Export
File
3D View
Procedure:
Opening the architectural models of previous weeks and viewing them in 3D view
Click on the Export option in the File tab and select the NWC
The file is now in NWC format and repeats the same procedure for other files.
Results: Architecture/ Structure Project files are exported successfully.
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
Aim: Using Navigate tool to walk around the model and walk through the rooms created and record the Navisworks file
Commands used:
Walls
Viewpoint
Procedure:
Exporting the structural and Architectural model to Naviswork
Creating a viewpoint
Select the Record option from the viewpoint, click on the walk command, walk through the rooms created, and record the Navisworks file.
3) Use Navigate tool to use Realism feature to walk through the model and record your moving as animation in Navisworks file
Command used:
Viewpoint.
Wall
Procedure:
Exporting the structural and Architectural model to Naviswork
Creating a viewpoint
Selecting the Record option from the viewpoint and clicking on the walk command and walking through the rooms created
Clicking stop after walking through all rooms.
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
Aim: Creating a clash detection test between the two models
a. Run the clash Detection test
b. Stud the clash between the two models
c. List which if the clashes could be approved
d. List which of the clashes could be neglected
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
Commands Used:
Clash Detective
Add test
Procedure:
1. Open the exported Architectural and structural file
2. Select the clash detective model on the home tab
3. Click on add test and rename it as Architectural and structural then click run test
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
Commands used:
Time liner
Add Task
Procedure:
Opening the exported structural model to the Naviswork
Clicking on the timeline option and select the selection tree
Select the added task and rename the appropriate components
The planned start, planned end, actual start, and actual end are filled with appropriate dates.
Specifying the task type as construction.
Result: Timeliner option is used successfully with selection with scheduling of column
