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 architecture and structure model to the Navisworks Cache file.

PROCEDURE:

Step1: Open Revit

• Open Revit and select the open option and select the project 2 Architecture model

• Open Revit and select the open option and select the project 2 Structure model

• Install the Navisworks export NWC Utility from the Autodesk website

Step 2: Export Revit file

• In file, Toolbar click on export
• Select NWC

• Export the files as NWS format

Step 3: Open Naviswork manage

• Open Naviswork software

• Click on open and select the Recent exported file from the Revit

RESULT:

• The Naviswork file of the Architecture model exported from Revit

• The Naviswork file of the Structural model exported from Revit

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 around the model and walk through the rooms created and record your moving as animation in your naviswork file.

PROCEDURE:

Step 1:Open Naviswork model

• Open Naviswork
• Click on open and select the recent exported Architecture model

Step 2: Create viewpoints

• In the Viewpoint toolbar, by using zoom and pan tools adjust the desired view
• Click on save viewpoint and save it by rename as Entrance

• Select Walk tool in ribbon and create different viewpoints as desired

• Click on save viewpoint in dropdown select Recording

RESULT:

• Created viewpoints of the model

Reception

Lobby

Board room

Toilets

Office room

Washroom

Pantry

Assistants room

Stairway and relax room

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

AIM: To Use the realism feature to walk through the model and record moving animation.

PROCEDURE:

Step 1: Open Navisworks model

• Open Navisworks
• Click on open and select the recent exported Architecture model

Step 2: Selecting Realism

• In Viewpoint toolbar click on the Realism tab in dropdown select Third person perspective

• With the help of the Walk tool Movie the TPP

RESULT:

Entrance

Reception

Lobby

Board room

Office room

Pantry

Assistants room

Stairway and relax room

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 a clash detection test between the architecture and structure *.nwc files

PROCEDURE:

Step 1: Open Navisworks model:

• Open Navisworks
• Click on open and select the recent exported Architecture model

Step 2: Append Structure sheet

• In Home toolbar click on Append in Dropdown select Append

• Add already exported structural *.nwc file in window

• Click on open

Step 3: Clash detective test

A. Run the Clash detection test:

• In home toolbar click on the clash detective tool

• Clash Detective test tab will appear

• Click on add test

• Select the models in sections A & B and choose by surface
• Click on Run 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 of later)

E. List which of the clashes can be resolved

F. Save the results after colour coding the clashes to the Navisworks file

RESULT:

The Clash detection test between two models are successfully done along with Resolve, Approve, Review all the clashes are done

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 Timliner feature for preparing a schedule and visual simulation for the week 6 project model.

PROCEDURE:

Step 1: Open Navisworks model

• Open Navisworks
• Click on open and select the recent exported Architecture model

Step 2: Open Timliner

• In home toolbar click on Timeliner tool

• Click on Selection Tree also

Step 3: Adding tasks

Click on add task and assign the info as

• Name it as Foundation
• Set planned start and planned end date appropriately
• Set Actual start date and Actual end date appropriately
• Set type as construction
• Attach the components related to it from the selection tree

• Click on attach current selection

• Similarly, assign other tasks related to the model construction

Step 4: Simulation

• In Timliner window click on the simulate option

• Click on play and record the process

RESULT:

The timliner Created for all the tasks is as follows

Simulation result
