Usage of Navigation tool , Timeliner and Clash Detection test using Naviswork

1. Aim: To Exporting the Revit architecture and structure model to Navisworks Cache file as discussed in the video.

    Introduction: To Create the Architecture /Structure project file developed  in week6 to 8 and export the Revit architecture      and structure mdel to Navisworks cache file. 

   Tools Used:

• File
• NWC
• Navisworks

   Procedure:

   Step 1:

• Go to Autodesk website
• Search Naviswork export utility and download 2023 version
• Click run and extract it.

           

    Step 2:

• Open a saved file in Revit application
• Click file and export it into NWC
• Save the file in appropriate location

        

   Step 3:

• Open Navisworks Manage 2021
• Click file menu and choose Open
• Open a file which we saved from revit application

         

   Result: The Revit file has been exported to Navisworks sucessfully.

        

2. Aim: To creating the walk through model and recording the movements using Navisworks.

    Introduction: To create by using the navigation tool to walk around the model and walk through the rooms created and        record your moving as animation in your navisworks file.

   Tools Used:

• Walk
• Record

   Procedure:

   Step 1:

• Open a Naviswork and import a file
• Click Walk tool in Viewport tab

       

  Step 2:

• In the selection tree select the 3d view which you want to walk through
• By using the mouse move as your wish
• Depends upon the mouse moving the screen will moving inside the room as a human walking.

              

   Step 3:

• Click the record option in the viewport
• Once the recording starts move your walk through
• Stop the recording and the saved files will automatically appears in selection tree

           

   Result: The Walk through our model using navigation tool has been done successfully.

        

3. Aim: To creating the Realism feature to walk through the model using Navigation tool in Navisworks

    Introduction: To create a realism feature to walk through the model and record your moving as animation in navisworks        file. 

   Tools used:

• Walk
• Realism
• Record
• Framings

  Procedure:

  Step 1:

• Open a Naviswork and import a architectural file
• Click Realism tool in Viewport tab
• Choose Third person option.

        

  Step 2:

• After clicking the Realsim option
• A human model will appear in the screen
• From this human model we can easily walk through and seeing the plan more realistically.

 Result: Similarly we can record this walk framings as we did in normal walk through tool

       

4. Aim: To run the clash detection test between two files and listing the clashes using Navisworks

    Introduction: To create embed both architecture and structure.nwc file in naviswork file and to create a clash detection          test between the two models. 

    Tools used:

• Clash detective
• Run
• Status

   Procedure:

   Step 1:

• Open a Architectural file
• Export it to the Naviswork

         

   Step 2:

• After exporting the architectural file click Append
• Choose Append and import Structural file into this file

         

    Step 3:

• Once the architectural and structural file has been merged click Clash detective tool in Viewport
• Click Start Test
• Choose Architectural vs Structural
• Click Run test
• After running the test the result screen will appears.

          

    Step 4:

• In the result tab totally 15 clashes has been found
• Here i allocate the status as Approved, Reviewed, Active. Resolved based on the preference.
• When you click the clash and switch it into Approved it turns as Green round similarly Yellow for Reviewd, Orange for Active

          

  Result: Out of 15 clashes i assigned 5 clash as active, 4 clash as approved, 2 clash as resolved and 4 clashes as renewed.      Thus the clash detective test has been done successfully.

         

5. Aim: To creating the schedule of the project using Navisworks.

    Introduction: To use the timeliner feature in Navisworks prepare a schedule for the project developed previously by              adding reasonable assumptiions for start date and end date and simulate the task completion as a visual simulation.

    Tools used:

• Item tools
• Timeliner
• Simulate

   Procedure:

   Step 1:

• Open Naviswork and import the file you want to schedule
• Click Timeliner tool in home tab

           

   Step 2:

• After clicking the timeliner tool enable the selection treen on the left side of the screen
• Click Add task option
• Name the task and assign the start date and end date of the activity
• Click Attach and choose current selection simultaneously.

             

   Step 3:

• After entering all the necessary data in the field
• Click Simulate tool
• Click play option
• Now the schedule will play as per the selection and date
• Video will play from foundation to roof as per the date we scheduled

            

  Result: The schedule has been done using timeline features in Navisworks successfully.
