Q1)

Aim: To use the architecture /structure project file developed by you from week 6-8.export the Revit file to the Navisworks cache file

Procedure :

Step 1: Open Revit software and click open the saved file which was developed by week 6

Step 2: Click on the file and select the export option and choose NWC

Step 3; Select the required file to open and click on the save option

Step 4: Then a file will be exported to Navisworks

Step 5: Go to the structural file menu and click open

Step 6: dialog box will appear, type the filename in Navisworks and select the extensions NWC and click ok

Step 7: Revit the file opened in Navisworks

RESULT: Successfully exported the Revit file to Navisworks

Q2)

Aim: Use the navigation tool to walk around the model and walkthrough

Procedure:

Step 1: Go to naviswork manage and click on the file and open and click on the required file

Step 2: Go to the viewpoint tab and choose the walk option for recording the walk to choose to save pint and click record

Step 3; We can walk through to the desired position using the walk tool

Step 4: The recorder walk points available in the saved viewpoints

Step 5: To see the recorder video, go to animation and choose the video and click the play button

Step 6: To export to the system go to the animation tab and choose export animation, a dialog box will appear to change its format to windows avi and save the file

Result: Successfully use navigate tool to walk through the model and to walk through the rooms created and record our movements.

Q3)

Aim: To use navigate tool to use the realistic feature to walk through the model and record our moves as animation in the Navisworks file.

Procedure :

Step 1: Go to navis work manage and click on the file and open and click on the required file

Step 2: Go to the viewpoint tab and choose realism and click the third person option for recording the walk choose to save pint and click record

Step 3; click the walk option and walk through to the desired position

Step 4: The recorder walk points available in the saved viewpoints

Step 5: To see the recorder video, go to animation and choose the video and click the play button

Result: Successfully use navigate tool to use the realistic feature to walk through the model and record our movements.

Q4)

Aim: To create a clash detection test between the architectural and structural models.

Run the clash detection test
Study the clashes between the models
List which of the clashes could be approved
List which of the clashes could be neglected
List which of the clashes can be resolved
Save the results after color coding the clashes to the Navisworks file
In case of resolution annotate the clash and save the view to defined views in Navisworks

Procedure:

Step 1: Load the NWC file of both architecture and structural file

Step 2: Go to the home tab and click clash detective

Step 3: A dialog box will appear, choose to add a task and select architecture from selection A and structural from selection B

Step 4: Choose the surface and run the test

Step 5: Click any one clash and provide the status to any like approved, neglected, and resolved

Result: Successfully doing the clash detection test and we can resolve the problems and send the file to the design engineer for corrections.

Q5)

Aim: To prepare a schedule for the project by adding reasonable assumptions like task start and end date and simulate the task using the timeline feature in Navisworks.

Procedure:

Step 1: Open the Revit Navisworks and export the architecture file
