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:

Exporting the Revit architecture and structure model to Navisworks Cache file following the export settings

Procedure:

• Open Revit and open the Architecture projects created challenges. Go to 3D view.
• Go to file menu -->> export. Select NWC format. Now file is in NWC format.

• Repeat the same procedure for all projects that is to be exported.

Results:-

Required Architecture/Structure Project is exported successfully.

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:- Using Navigate Tool to walk around the model and walk through the rooms created and record our moving as animation in Navisworks file.

Procedure:

• Export the desired Architecture/Structure project to Naviswork and open the architectural exported model.

• Go to the Viewpoint.
• select the walk then slowly move on.
• next scroldown the save viewpoint and select record then recorded the moves.

• Click Stop after walking is complete. Walk Recording will be saved in file.

Results:-

Animation due to Walk recording is created and saved successfully.

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

Aim:- Using Navigate tool to use Realism feature to walk through the model and recording our moving as animation in Navisworks file.

Procedure:

• Export the desired Architecture/Structure project to Naviswork. Select the Realism option and click on third person option. Create a Viewpoint and click on Record.
• Start a Walk by clicking on walk option.
• Walk through various rooms.
• Click Stop after walking is complete. Walk Recording will be saved in file.

Results:-

Animation due to Realism Walk recording is created and saved successfully.

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:- Embeding both architecture and structure .nwc file to your Navisworks file. Creating a clash detection test between the two models.

Procedure:

• Open the Exported Architectural and Structural project in Navisworks. First of all open the architectural project and then append the structural one using append option of home tab.

• Click on Add test and select architectural from section A and Structural model from section B. Click on Run.
• Run the test and study the clashes. See the clashes which can be resolved, approved or cannot be resolved. Mark them as per study.

We can save report by clicking on Export test and then give a desired name and folder to store file.

Results:-

Clash Detection Test is run and studied as desired.

In clash detective window under Results menu we will see different clashes. Select a clash to be viewed.

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:- Using the Timeliner feature in Navisworks preparing a schedule for the project developed in previous challenges and simulating the task completion as a visual simulation. Recording it and saving the timeline simulation to Navisworks file.

Procedure:

• Open the Exported Structural Model in Naviswork.
• Click on timeliner option. timeliner window will appear. Select the add task and rename the appropriate components. Enter suitably Planned start date, end date, actually start and end date.Specify the Task type as Construct.
• Enter the selection tree and select the components and attach it using Attach option.
• Similarly add all details for all components of structures.
• Now go to simulate option and run the simulation.
• Record the simulation and we can export it to required format or save the file in Navisworks.

Results:-

Simulation and Tasks information is successfully created.
