Procedure:

• Open the Original 3D View of the model in Navisworks.
• go to Viewpoint>Walk and then Click on Realism icon.
• Select the Third Person option.
• Go to Save Viewpoint>Record.
• Walk arund the building using Realism.
• Use the pan tool When necessary.
• Stop the Recording.
• Rename the saved recording in the saved viewpoints window.
• Go to Animation.
• Select the Realism walk animation Created.
• Click on the play Button.
• Go to animation>Export animation.
• Make desired adjustments in the animation export dialog box>Ok.
• Save the exported file in the appropriate location.

Result:

It has been Sucessfully illustrated with detailed procedure how to use the Navigate Realism feature to walk through the model and record the moving as animation in the navisworks file.

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 Embed both architecture and structure *.nwc file to your Navisworks file. Create a clash detection test between the two models.

Introduction: The procedure to Embed both architecture and structure *.nwc file to your Navisworks file. Create a clash detection test between the two models is Explained in detail and the final result is given.

Procedure:

• Go to Home tab> Append.
• Select and open the Structural model file of the office building to the existing architectural file in Navisworks.
• The Structural model will be Appended to the Architectural model.

a. Run the Clash Detction test.

• Go to Home Clash>Detective.
• In the Clash Detective window Click on Add test.
• Next Select the Architectural model for Section A and Structural model for Section B.
• Select the Surfaces Option.
• Then Click on Run Test.
• The Total number of Clashes detected will be listed in Window.

b. Study the Clash between the two models.

• From the clash detection results,Check all the Clashes that are listed in the Window one by one.

c. List Which of the Clashes could be approved.

• To Change the Status of the Clashes to approved,Select the Clashes that can be approved,individually, and under the Status tab Change the Status to approved.

d. List Which of the Clashes Could be neglected (Will be taken Care later).

• To change the Status of the Clashes to approved ,Select the Clashes that can be taken care of later, individually, and under the Status tab Change the Status to Active/Reviewed.

e. List which of the Clashes can be Resolved.

• To change the Status of the Clashes to approved, Select the Clashes that are resolved,individually, and under the Status tab Change the Status to Resolved.

f. Save the results after Color coding the Clashes to the Navisworks file.

• The Colour Coded Clash test Results can be exported as an .xml file by Clicking on the Export icon and Saving the Exported File.

g. In case of Resolution annotate the Clash and Save the view to defined View in Navisworks.
