Usage of Navigation tool , Timeliner and Clash Detection test using Naviswork
Challenge-11: Usage of Navigation tool , Timeliner and Clash Detection test using Naviswork
INSTALLATION OF NAVISWORKS MANAGE SOFTWARE 2023 & NAVISWORKS EXPORTER UTILITY 2023
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 Architectural and structural file (from week 6 challenge) and export to Navisworks file.
Procedure:
Open revit challenge 6 file -> 3D view -> Architectural file -> click on file -> export -> NWC -> save the file in a folder as challenge 11 -> file type as NWC -> click save
simillary, open week 6 challenge structural file -> file -> export -> NWC -> save the file in a folder as challenge 11.a -> file type as NWC -> click save.
Result: The Revit Architectural and structural models are exported to navisworks file.
Navisworks Result: shown below the result.
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
Answer:
Aim: To use Navigate tool to walk around model and walk through the rooms created and also to record the animation.
Procedure:
open navisworks software -> click on file option -> click open -> select saved architectural NWC file -> open.
Go to view point -> click on walk -> dropdown the option of save view point -> name a view -> again drop down the option of save view point.
click on record -> using cursor just walk to all the rooms -> just walk to all the rooms -> stop the recording.
TO SAVE THE WALK-THROUGH
Go to animation tab -> export animation -> choose window AVI format -> click OK -> choose the destination folder -> click save.
Result: Using the navigate tool, the animation of the model is recorded and shown below. (Recording files are attached)
Navisworks Result:
3) Use Navigate tool to use Realism feature to walk through the model and record your moving as animation in Navisworks file
Answer:
Aim: To use realism feature to walk through the model and record as animation in navisworks file.
Procedure:
Go to the navisworks software -> click on viewpoint option -> click on realism dropdown option -> select 3rd person.
Go to viewpoint -> click on save view point -> rename the view as recording third person -> click on walk option -> drop down the save view point -> start the recording -> start walk through in the models -> stop the recording.
TO SAVE THE WALK-THROUGH
Go to animation tab -> export animation -> choose window AVI format -> click OK -> choose the destination folder -> click save.
Result: Using realism (third person) the walk through the animation of the model is recoded and saved as shown below.
Navisworks Result:
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
Answer:
Aim: To import both Architectural and structural file using navisworks file,
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:
Just open navisworks model, which has already imported NWC Architectural file, now import structural file.
click on home tab -> click on append -> choose the structural file model -> click open -> click ok
TO RUN CLASH DETECTION TEST
click on clash detective -> a dialog box will appear -> click on add test option -> rename the Test 1 as DemoTest.
Click on Architectural.nwc from selection A -> then click on structural.nwc from selection B -> choose the surface option below -> then click on run test.
It shows all the total count of clash detection, for all the clashes provide the status of the clashes of each.
Result: As shown below in the screenshot the clash detection test.
Navisworks Result:
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 timeliner feature in Navisworks and prepare a schedule and finally simulate the task completion as a visual simulation and to record and save the timeliner simulation to navisworks file.
Procedure:
Open the Navisworks model -> click on home tab -> click on timeliner -> click on the selection tree (to assign all the tasks in a schedule).
Click on Add task option -> rename the tasks.
E.g: Task 1(Footing) -> Planned start (25/05/2023) ->Planned end ( 30/05/2023) -> Actural start ( 24/05/2023) -> Actual end (04/06/2023) -> Task type (Active) -> (construct)
Each time adding tasks click on attach the current selection.
Simillary repeat the same procedure for all the remaing task to create a schedule.
TO SEE THE ANIMATED VIDEO OF THE SCHEDULED TASKS
Click on simulate -> click on the option play.
TO SAVE THIS ANIMATED SCHEDULED VIDEO
Click on animation export -> choose the format as window AVI -> source as timeliner -> mention width and depth -> click ok -> choose the destination folder and rename the file -> finallay click OK
Result: Using timeliner feature a schedule is prepared and finally using simulate option the task is completed and recorded.
Navisworks Result:
