QUESTION:-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
ANSWER
AIM:- To export the Revit architecture and structure model to Navisworks Cache file following the export settings.
INTRODUCTION:-
- Navisworks Cache Files are created mostly for ease of use and speed.
- When you open a model created in other programs, it creates a cache file that is much smaller in size, and you won’t even notice it.
- The next time that you open that same model, it will instantly load, rather than gathering the information for it.
- This is because it is now reading the information from the cache file rather than the model itself (so long as the original file isn’t newer than the cache file, in which case it will re-cache and replace the old one).
- It does this for each file Navisworks opens or merges natively.
PROCEDURE:-
STEP:-1
- First we have to open the revit software and open the architectural model..
- Next we click on the file option and export the model as NWC file, as shown in the below figure.
- Next the export scene as tab will appear, next the give the nwc file name as project123.
STEP:-2
- Next we have to open the revit software and open the structural model..
- Next we click on the file option and export the model as NWC file, as shown in the below figure.
- Next the export scene as tab will appear, next the give the nwc file name as project1 STRUCTURAL.
STEP:-3
- Next the architectural model and structural model are opened in the navisworks, as shown in the below figures.
RESULT:-
- Revit architecture and structure model are successfully exported to the navisworks cache file.

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.
ANSWER
AIM:- To Create a clash detection test between the two models.
INTRODUCTION:-
- The Clash Detective tool enables you to search through your total project model, identifying cross-discipline interferences (clashes) earlier in the design process.
- This feature is available for Autodesk Navisworks Manage users only.
PROCEDURE:-
STEP:-1
Open the Architectural Model in NavisWorks
- Start the software and go to the open tab.
- Browse for the converted NWC file for your Architectural model.
- Select the file and click open.
STEP:-2
Append the Structural Model
- After opening the Architectural model, now use the append option from the home tab and combine both models in your NavisWorks file.
- And to do so, go to the home tab and locate the append option.
- Click on the append button and browse for the file you want to append with your current model.
- Then, click on the flie and open the same.
- Now both models are combined and you need to run the clash detection test in order to find out where these models need the correction for a seamless construction process.
STEP:-3
Run the Clash Detection Test
- Now to run the test, you need to click on the clash detective tool and do some settings and then run the thing.
- So, from the home tab locate the clash detective tool and click on it.
- Then, you will be required to select two files that you want to check for the clash.
- Thus, click on the Architectural file from the section A and click on the structural file from the section B.
- Then, scroll down the dialogue box and click on the run option to execute the clash detection test.
STEP:-4
Carefully Examine the Results and Categorize the Clahes
- After running the test successfully, the results will be displayed on your screen in terms of the total numbers of clashes detected.
- So, look at the clashes and try to categorize them according to the type of clash.
- You can categorize them as active, resolved, approved and reviewed.
- Thus, active clashes are those who are under discussion and need to attention to be solved.
- Resolved are the ones that are taken care of already or can be easily executed at the site.
- And, approved claesh are the ones that are typically approved on the construction level.
- At last, reviewed are the ones that can be neglected as these are minor clashes that are generally understood and dealt with at the time of construction.
- Moreover, you can also assign a person through NavisWorks to take care of some of the clashes in your project.
- At the same time, you can add comments and all regarding the clash that need further explanation.
- Then after conductin this entire operation, you can go ahead and write a report on all the clashes and how they are dealt with.
TEST RESULTS
CLASH CATEGORIES BASED ON THE TYPE OF CLASH
NOTE: No new clashes should be left over after examining the model.
RESULT:-
- Created a clash detection test between the two models successfully.
QUESTION:- 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.
ANSWER
AIM:- To use the Timeliner feature in Navisworks to prepare a schedule for the project developed in week 6 to 8.
INTRODUCTION:-
- The TimeLinertool adds schedule simulation to Autodesk Navisworks.
- TimeLinerimports 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.
- TimeLineralso allows the export of images and animations based on the results of the simulation.
- TimeLinerwill automatically update the simulation if the model or schedule changes.
PROCEDURE:-
- Open up the structural framing model into your NavisWorks file by following the standard procedure as discussed in the previous sections.
- Now, you can find the timeliner tool just beside the clash detective tool. So, click on it.
- A dialogue box will appear on your screen where you can set the scheduling of your project.
- Now, go to the selec option and activate the selection tree on the left hand side of your NavisWorks screen.
- Thus, start adding tasks based on the standard construction procedure followed in the industry.
- Start from the site clearance then add the foundation construction till the end at the top roof slab.
- So, when you add a task, you can define its name, starting date, ending date, type of task and you can also assign the selected objests to it.
- For example, if you are adding a task named column casting, you can select all the columns you want to target in this taks at a certain floor level.
- Hence, the above method has been followed and the following schedule timings have been laid out based on the scope of our project.
TASK 1 - SITE CLEARANCE
TASK 2 - BUILDING FOUNDATION
TASK 3 - GROUND LEVEL FLOOR PREPARATION FOR PARKING
TASK 4 - GROUND FLOOR COLUMNS CASTING AND CURING
TASK 5 - FIRST SLAB
TASK 6 - FIRST FLOOR COLUMNS CASTING AND CURING
TASK 7 - SECOND SLAB
TASK 8 - SECOND FLOOR COLUMNS CASTING AND CURING
TASK 9 - THIRD SLAB
TASK 10 - THIRD FLOOR COLUMNS
TASK 11 - FOURTH SLAB
TASK 12 - FOURTH FLOOR COLUMNS
TASK 13 - FIFTH SLAB
TASK 14 - FIFTH FLOOR COLUMNS
TASK 15 - SIXTH SLAB
TASK 16 - SIXTH FLOOR COLUMNS
TASK 17 - SEVENTH FLOOR COLUMNS
TASK 18 - FINAL SLAB (TERRACE LEVEL)
RESULT:-
- Timeliner feature is used successfully in Navisworks to prepare a schedule for the project developed in week 6 to 8.
- Hence all the tasks are successfully scheduled based on the realtime project timeline. Now we can simulate the entire project in a video format. So, go to the simulate option and play the video that has been added to simulate menu. Moreover, you can also download the video on your system by exporting it just like we did for the walktrhough of our project.
