INTRODUCTION:
Autodesk Navisworks Manage software is a comprehensive project review solution that supports coordination, analysis, and communication of design intent and constructability.
Multidisciplinary design data created in a broad range of Building Information Modeling (BIM), digital prototype, and process plant design applications can be combined into a single integrated project model. Interference management tools help design and construction professionals anticipate and minimize potential problems before construction begins, helping to reduce expensive delays and rework.
Navisworks Manage (also known as Navis) is integrated with Autodesk BIM 360 Coordinate software to help connect the entire project team and streamline BIM project review and coordination workflows. The software combines model coordination with project quantities and schedules to deliver simulation and quantification features, including time and cost analysis. Entire project models can be published and viewed using Autodesk Navisworks Freedom software.

To use Navigate tool to use the realism feature to walk through the model and record the moving as animation
INTRODUCTION:
This function allows us to navigate the scene from a third-person perspective. When the third person is activated, you will be able to see an avatar which is a representation of yourself within the 3D model. Whilst navigating you will be controlling the avatar's interaction with the current scene
When you navigate a 3D model, you can use the realism tools on the Viewpoint tab Navigate panel to control the speed and realism of your navigation. The realism tools are not available in a 2D workspace.

INTRODUCTION:
Navisworks clash detection tool is a construction project evaluation and simulation software by Autodesk that facilitates BIM (Building Information Modeling) coordination by combining design and construction data into a holistic framework and detecting and mitigating clash and obstruction issues before construction.
In a BIM workflow, clash detection entails detecting clashes and conflicts across various models or their components to rectify such issues before construction begins. Spatial overlap of models or their sections, representations in the same design with incompatible parameters, or an unusual time sequence in 4D BIM modeling are all examples of clashes & conflicts.

RESULT:
The Clash detection test was completed successfully between the architectural and structural model
5) Using the Timeliner 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
AIM:
To use the Timeliner feature in Naviswork to prepare a schedule for the project
INTRODUCTION:
The TimeLiner tool adds schedule simulation to Autodesk Navisworks. timeline imports schedules from a variety of sources. You can then connect tasks in the schedule with objects in the model to create a simulation.
This allows you to see the effects of the schedule on the model, and compare planned dates against actual dates. Costs can also be assigned to tasks to track the cost of a project throughout its schedule. TimeLiner also allows the export of images and animations based on the results of the simulation. TimeLiner will automatically update the simulation if the model or schedule changes
Navisworks TimeLiner module allows construction professionals and BIM users to model the construction sequence. It can be difficult to link the schedule and map the correct set of columns. TimeLiner Simulator with Autodesk Navisworks, explains how to create the simulation using your topmost items, layers, as well as sets.
PROCEDURE:
Step 1:
1. Open the Naviswork software and load the architectural file
Step 2:
1. Go to the Home tab and select the TimeLiner option
Step 3:
1. Then Turn on the selection tree option to sort between the selections
Step 4:
1. Click on Add task and add all the tasks with a planned start, planned end, actual start, and actual end dates
2. Select the respective tasks according to the assignment
Step 5:
1. After adding all the tasks, provide proper planned and actual dates according to the construction phase
2. Then Select the task type as Construct as shown in the figure below
Step 6:
