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:-

To export the Revit architecture and structure model to Navisworks Cache file following the export settings.

Procedure:-

Step 1:-

Go to the Autodesk website. Search Naviswork manage and download the 2023 version.

Also download Navisworks Export Utility and install it.

Step 2:-

First, we have to open the Revit software and open the architectural model.
Click on the file option and export the model as an NWC file. Save the model as navis works.

Result:-

The Revit architecture file is successfully exported to the Navisworks cache file.

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 the Navigate Tool, to walk around the model and walk through the rooms created and record moving as animation in your Navisworks file.

Procedure:-

Step 1:-

Opening the architectural model in the Navisworks.

Step 2:-

Click on the walk tool under the Viewpoint tab.

Use the record option in the viewport toolbar to record the moving animation in each and every room.

Step 3:-

Walkthrough the Portigo area and go Meeting Rooms.

Result:-

Walk around the model and room created was done successfully and recorded by using Naviswork.

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

Aim:-

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

Procedure:-

Use the record option in the viewport toolbar to record the moving animation in each and every room.

Step 2:-

Walkthrough the entire area.

Result:-

Walk around the model and room created was done successfully and recorded using Realism feature.

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.

Aim:-

To Create a clash detection test between the two models.

Procedure:-

Step 1:-

Open the Structural Model to Revit software.
Then Export the File to Navisworks and save it as Navisworks.

Step 2:-

Select Append tool in Home tab, Open Structural file in Navisworks.

Open the Home tab and select the clash detective tool.

Step 3:-
