Navisworks Presentation

[Eboni Kleifgen]

Whendoing online presentations, I never present my primary monitor for client confidentiality reasons (notifications & pop-ups would show up visible to others), yet Navisworks Manage presents on the primary monitor in Full Screen mode. This makes Full Screen basically useless for online meetings to me. Every other program I have allows control of where Full Screen takes place. Is there any way to have Full Screen show up on a different monitor?

I'm aware of the "do not disturb" settings, but those don't help. I present secondary monitors, not apps on those monitors, as I'm always dragging other content in to show from other sources. I don't stay exclusively in NavisWorks during presentations. I need the full screen presentation to run in the secondary monitor, just as I do with PowerPoint presentations, for example.

WIth Navisworks I usually connect a HDMI cable from my laptop to a big screen/projector and I can keep my tool bars on my laptop screen and full 3D window on the bigger screen. That way I can use the tools but keep the focus of presentation on the BIM.

Simulate and manage construction projects: Autodesk Navisworks allows you to check 3D models and optimize clash detection and coordination. Autodesk Navisworks improves the planning and execution of your BIM projects. Find out more about the benefits and consulting options now!

Navisworks is a software for model checking. With the extensive simulation tools, you can improve your BIM project by implementing professional workflows and construction methods. And always safely, as collision or design conflicts are displayed at an early stage.

Autodesk Navisworks is a Building Information Modeling (BIM) software that integrates 3D models from different disciplines. It enables collaboration, simulation and analysis of construction projects, improves collaboration and optimizes the construction process. Navisworks helps construction professionals to identify conflicts, facilitate communication and increase efficiency throughout the entire construction life cycle.

With Autodesk Navisworks, you retain control of your construction project at every stage. Check your plans, simulate new approaches and use the photorealistic representation of your designs for your perfect presentation. Navisworks is available in two versions:

Autodesk Navisworks Simulate allows you to check models in three dimensions and integrate even large data sets into a central coordinate model. With 5D analysis and the wide range of simulation functions, you can achieve perfect construction planning at all times, including the associated construction site logistics and safety planning. Use the extended options for optimized collaboration between all project participants, for example by checking and adapting designs simultaneously.

Autodesk Navisworks Manage bundles a variety of powerful tools for the planning, simulation and validation of BIM projects. Reduce errors and potential risks at an early stage - even in projects with spatial complexity. In addition to simulating, analyzing and quantifying projects, Navisworks Manage enables easy integration and seamless further processing with the Autodesk Construction Cloud and Revit.

Use Autodesk Navisworks to automatically detect conflicts in the planning data of all parties involved. If, for example, a breakthrough for a pipeline is missing, the software recognizes this. The respective construction partner is notified - via an automatically generated report.

Perfect presentations and show off your project in the best possible way. Early-stage simulation of time and planning processes as well as potential collisions. You can then create error-free designs and present them in the shortest possible time at the "push of a button".

Amazonen-Werke H. Dreyer GmbH & Co. KG use state-of-the-art factory planning software with Autodesk Factory Design Solution/Factory Design Utilities to optimally plan and utilize their manufacturing sites.

Smoothly from measurement to the final product

From the first customer contact to production with Autodesk software, Luxforge s..rl relied on Cideon. The result: more efficient product development and layout planning as well as consistent PDM processes.

Digital layout planning, shorter project duration

Cideon implemented Autodesk's Factory Design Solution at Unitechnik Systems GmbH. The special CAD system enables improved handling when planning and implementing digital factory models.

CAD introduced, construction methods defined

Make teamwork effective and sustainable. For Karl Eugen Fischer GmbH, this meant introducing new CAD guidelines and defined construction methods together with Cideon.

This ensures that your systems are always up to date and ready for use, giving you the peace of mind that your software is consistently maintained and optimized.

How do you import a Civil 3D corridor into Revit or Navisworks?

I was asked this question a couple of months ago while importing a Civil 3D surface into Revit for a user group presentation on Revit Civil 3D collaboration. A very valid question, considering that I was just importing a surface and that too as polyline contours.

Just like in the human body, all the building systems have to function in-sync to achieve performance and functional expectations in terms of energy efficiency, sustainability, operational efficiency, etc.

Clash detection is the method of identifying and inspecting the various building design interferences which frequently occur during the BIM coordination or Construction Gatekeeping process.

Clash detection will only come into the picture when all the building design trades (Architectural, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Protection, and others) are integrated into the BIM model.

A conflict occurs when the elements of different MEPFP or other trades occupy the same space. This conflict can be geometrical (for example, HVAC crossing through structural beam), schedule-based (when the sequence of work is not as per the schedule or multiple things take place at once), or the changes are not updated in the drawings.

Soft Clash occurs when one element is not given the spatial or geometric tolerance and because of which its buffer zone is breached. It is a type of clash which gets flagged when a distance of less than a set tolerance is detected.

Workflow clashes, as the name suggests, are the timeline conflicts. They actually represent a mismatch in the scheduling of contractors or when there is a conflict of timeline with equipment or material delivery. It is knowns as 4D clash as it results from scheduling clashes that affect the efficiency of the entire construction firm.

Autodesk Navisworks acts as a model aggregator as it brings together 3D models and associated design data into a single working environment for the purpose of design review, coordination analysis, simulation of the model, and presentation. There are many specialized tools in Navisworks such as Clash Detective, TimeLiner, Animator, etc. It allows an interactive review of the virtual project model in order to validate the design and provide accurate predictions for construction and operations.

NWC files format is not intended for general use. It contains a cached version of the converted Revit model geometry. It allows users to open files into Navisworks which can be saved in NWF or NWD file format. NWC files are created to load the model more quickly when opened next. However, it does not allow users to save NWC file format.

An NWF file contains data indexed data of all the model files that are being used. It stores all the other data opened in Navisworks. It is recommended to use the NWF file format while working with an ongoing project as any changes or updates made with the original drawings will get reflected in the next time the model gets opened in Navisworks.
