Ans 4.  

• Aim : 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)

                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 : Walkthrough the exported model in naviswork by walk tool given in viewpoint tab.
• Procedure : 

1. Open clash detective in Home Tab in navisworks manage.
2. Then a clash detective window will open on your screen.
3. In that choose add test option to add test of your respective file.
4. After that choose your file from a window which opened after adding test.

9. Finally save the clash detective test.

Results : Clashes has been detected through testing of files and further work is to be done on the clashes to improve it by giving statuses in Naviswork manage respectively by following above procedure shown in images.

Ans 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.

• Introduction :  In Navisworks we can prepare a timeliner schedule for the project developed previously and simulate it start and end date by timeliner tool given in Home tab.

• Procedure : 

1. Open Timeliner in Home Tab in navisworks manage.
2. Then a timeliner window will open on your screen.
