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: Using the Architecture/ Structure Project file developed and exporting the Revit architecture and structure model to Navisworks Cache file following the export settings

Commands used:

• Export
• File
• 3D view

Procedure:

1. Opening the Architectural models of previous weeks and viewing in 3D view

2. Clicking on export option in the file tab and selecting the NWC

3. The file is now in NWC format and repeating the same procedure to other files.

Result: Architecture/ Structure Project file 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 recording the Navisworks file

Commands used:

• Walls
• Viewpoint

Procedure:

1.Exporting the Structural and Architectural model to Naviswork

2.Creating a viewpoint

3.Selecting the Record option from the viewpoint and clicking on walk command and walking through the rooms created

4.Clicking stop after walking through all rooms

Result: Created a walk through in rooms is created successfully in Naviswork

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 the move as animation in Navisworks file

Commands used:

• Viewpoint
• Realism
• Record

Procedure:

1.Opening the exported architectural file in naviswork

2.Creating a viewpoint and clicking on record

3.Selecting the realism option and clicking on third person option

4.Starting a walk by clicking on the record option

5.Clicking stop after walking through all rooms

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: Creating 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

Commands used:

• Clash Detective
• Add test

Procedure:

1.Opening the exported Architectural and structural file

2.Selecting the clash detective model on home tab

3.A tab in which 2 new tabs appears

4.Clicking on add test and renaming it as Arch. vs stru. and clicking run test

Result: Clash detective test is run successfully

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 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

Commands used:

• Timeliner
• Add Task

Procedure:

1.Opening the exported structural model to the naviswork

2. Clicking on the timeliner option and selecting the selection tree

3. Selecting the add task and renaming the appropriate components

4. The planned start, planned end, actual start and actual end is filled with appropriate dates

5. Specifing the task type as construction

Result: Timeliner option is used successfully with selection tree with scheduling of column.
