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 Exporting the Revit architecture and structure model to Navisworks Cache file as discussed in the video.
Procedure:
Go to Autodesk website
Search Naviswork export utility and download 2021 version
Click run and extract it.
Open a saved file in Revit application
Click file and export it into NWC
Save the file in appropriate location
Open Navisworks Manage 2021
Click file menu and choose Open
Open a file which we saved from revit application
Result:
Thus the Revit file has been exported to Navisworks sucessfully.
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 creating the walk through model and recording the movements using Navisworks.
Procedure:
Open a Naviswork and import a file
Click Walk tool in Viewport tab
In the selection tree select the 3d view which you want to walk through
By using the mouse move as your wish
Depends upon the mouse moving the screen will moving inside the room as a human walking.
Click the record option in the viewport
Once the recording starts move your walk through
Stop the recording and the saved files will automatically appears in selection tree
Result:
Thus the Walk through our model using navigation tool has been done successfully.
3) Use Navigate tool to use Realism feature to walk through the model and record your moving as animation in Navisworks file
Aim:
To creating the Realism feature to walk through the model using Navigation tool in Navisworks
Procedure:
Open a Naviswork and import a architectural file
Click Realism tool in Viewport tab
Choose Third person option.
After clicking the Realsim option
A human model will appear in the screen
From this human human model we can easily walk through and seeing the plan more realistically.
Result:
Similarly we can record this walk framings as we did in normal walk through tool
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 run the clash detection test between two files and listing the clashes using Navisworks
Procedure:
Open a Architectural file
Export it to the Naviswork
After exporting the architectural file click Append
Choose Append and import Structural file into this file
Once the architectural and structural file has been merged click Clash detective tool in Viewport
Click Start Test
Choose Architectural vs Structural
Click Run test
After running the test the result screen will appears.
In the result tab totally 348 clashes has been found
Here i allocate the status as Approved, Reviewed, Active. Resolved based on the preference.
When you click the clash and switch it into Approved it turns as Green round similarly Yellow for Reviewd, Orange for Active
Result:
Out of 15 clashes i assigned 5 clash as active, 4 clash as approved, 2 clash as resolved and 4 clashes as renewed. Thus the clash detective test has been donesuccessfully.
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 creating the schedule of the project using Navisworks.
Procedure:
Open Naviswork and import the file you want to schedule
Click Timeliner tool in home tab
After clicking the timeliner tool enable the selection treen on the left side of the screen
Click Add task option
Name the task and assign the start date and end date of the activity
Click Attach and choose current selection simultaneously.
After entering all the necessary data in the field
Click Simulate tool
Click play option
Now the schedule will play as per the selection and date
Video will play from foundation to roof as per the date we scheduled
Result:
Thus the schedule has been done using timeline features in Navisworks successfully.
