AIM:- To Use the Architecture/ Structure Project file developed by you in Week 6 to 8. Export the Revit file to Navisworks Cache file.

INTRODUCTION:-

• Navisworks is available in three versions namely Freedom, Simulate and Manage. Freedom is a free viewer for native NWD files. Simulate is the base level and includes the functionalities except for Clash Detective. Manage on the other hand is the top level and includes all features.
• Navisworks is primarily used in construction industries to complement 3D design packages( such as Autodesk Revit,AutoCAD, and Microstation).
• Navisworks allows users to open and combine 3D models ;navigate around them in real-time and review the model using a set of tools including comments , redlining , viewpoint and measurements.

PROCEDURE:-

• Open revit
• Then open the architectural model which has been created in the previous weeks
• Viewing it in 3D view

• Create a new folder to save the naviswork files in it.
• And I named the folder as NW.
• Go to the file, click on export and then select NWC.

• Save the NWC file as Architecture.
• Again repeat the process by opening structural files.
• After exporting the file name it as Structural.

• Then open the naviswork

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:- To 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

INTRODUCTION:-

• Navisworks Manage is a model aggregator that brings together 3D models and their associated design data into a single working environment.
• It allows design review, coordination analysis, simulation, presentation, and communication of design and constructability.
• It offers share view feature and users can review models on different platforms (Revit, Inventor, Rhinoceros, Solidworks, Sketchup, Allplan, Robot, CYPE, etc.)
• It offers a varied bucket of tools such as Clash Detective, Animator, TimeLiner, Quantification Workbook, etc.Autodesk Navisworks acts as a model aggregator as it brings together 3D models and associated design data into a single working environment for the purpose of design review, coordination analysis, simulation of the model, and presentation.
• There are many specialized tools in Navisworks such as Clash Detective, TimeLiner, Animator, etc. It allows an interactive review of the virtual project model in order to validate the design and provide accurate predictions for construction and operations.

PROCEDURE:-

• Open revit
• Then open the architectural model which has been created in the previous weeks
• Viewing it in 3D view

• Create a new folder to save the naviswork files in it.
• And I named the folder as NW.
• Go to the file, click on export and then select NWC.

• Save the NWC file as Architecture.
• Again repeat the process by opening structural files.
• After exporting the file name it as Structural.

• Then open the naviswork
• Click open and open dialogbox appears
• From that select which we want to open and select the NWC extension and then click ok.
• Open Architectural file first and then Append the other file is structural file.

• Now to add the structural plan
• Go to the home tab select 'Append'

• From there select the structural model and open.
• Now we can see the both strcuctural and architectural plan combined with shared coordinates as below;

CLASH DETECTIVE TEST:-

• From hometab select the clash detective

• Clash detective dialogbox will appears

• Clip on top arrow and select "Add test"

• Name the test as "DEMO_TEST".
• Select selection A - Architectural and selection B - Structural.
• Select surfaces and click on run test
• Then click on the files which we want to test then click on the run test
• Clashes can be approved as part of the construction ,these clashes will not appear anymore
• If clashes which will not cause any disturbance it can be neglected

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

AIM:- To use 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

INTRODUCTION:-

• The TimeLiner tool adds schedule simulation to Autodesk Navisworks.
• TimeLiner 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.

PROCEDURE:-

• Go to home tab
• Click on timeline

• Click on "selection tree" in home tab

• Add task as per the requiremnet of the plan

• Selection tree dialogue box as shown

• click on "attach current selection" which is from the from the selection tree dialog box
• Give proper dates to the tasks

• Now click on simulate and click on record at save view point
