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

Aim: Using the Architecture/ Structure Project file developed and exporting the Revit architecture and structure model to Navisworks Cache file following the export settings

Procedure:
1. Opening the Architectural models of previous weeks and viewing in 3D view
2. Clicking on export option in the file tab and selecting the NWC

3. The file is now in NWC format and repeat the same procedure to other files.

Commands used:
Export
File
3D view
Result: Architecture/ Structure Project file is exported successfully

Aim:Using Navigate Tool to walk around the model and walk through the rooms created and recording the Navisworks file

Procedure:

Aim:Creating 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

Procedure:
1.Opening the exported Architectural and structural file
2.Selecting the clash detective model on home tab
3.A tab in which 2 new tabs appears
4.Clicking on add test and renaming it as Architectural and Structural and clicking run test

Commands used:
Clash Detective
Add test

Result: Clash etective test is run successfully

5.Aim: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

Procedure:
1.Opening the exported structural model to the naviswork
2. Clicking on the timeliner option and selecting the selection tree
3. Selecting the add task and renaming the appropriate components
4. The planned start, planned end, actual start and actual end is filled with appropriate dates
5. Specifing the task type as construction

Commands used:
Timeliner
