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

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

Aim :

To export the revit architectural and structural model to navisworks cache file following export settings.

Procedure :

• Go to autodesk website and download navisworks manage and navisworks exporter and run the programme.
• Now, after installing goto revit and export the required files to navisworks using file tab.

Result :

The revit architectural and structural files are successfully exported to navisworks cache file

2) Use Navigate Tool to walk around the model and walk through the rooms created and record your moving as animation in your Navisworks file

Aim :

To use navigate tool to walk and record through the rooms.

Procedure :

• Open the desired (exporetd from revit) file in navisworks and go to view point tab and click on walk option
• Start recording the walkthrough using the recod option in dropdown of save point view.
• Finally, export the animayed recoding export opton in view tab.

Result :

A walkthrough video has been created and attached in the files column.

3) Use Navigate tool to use Realism feature to walk through the model and record your moving as animation in Navisworks file

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 clash detection test between two models.

Procedure :

• Open home tab and select clash detection after inserting architectutal moodel and aooending the structural model using append option in home tab.
• Study the clashes between the two models.
• List down the clashes which are approved, neglected, resolved.
• Save the results after colorcoding the clashes to the navisworks file.

Result :

Created a clash detection test between the two models.

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 to prepare a schedule for the project developed in weeks 6 and 8.

Procedure :

• Open the structural model in navisworks which was exported from revit.
• Select time liner from home tab
• Add the tsaks and fill otehr details like start date, end date, estimated start date etc and attach the relevant elements to the tasks using elements in selection tree.
• Now, click the simulate to play the recorded task and save the project

Result :

Timeliner is used succesfully in navisworks to prepare a schedule for project developed in weeks 6 and 8. And the generated time liner video is attached in the files section below.
