Usage of Navigation tool , Timeliner and Clash Detection test using Naviswork

• Collision check: Use Navisworks to automatically detect conflicts in the planning data of all participants. The software detects, for example, when a hole for a pipeline is missing. An automatically generated report then notifies the relevant building partner. 

• COST CALCULATION: Calculate accurate quantities and associated costs. Utilize all available data such as simple 2D floor plans and complex BIM models.

• BUILDING PROCESS SIMULATION: Fully simulate project progress. Use the results to check building progress. 

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 created in week 6 challenge to Navisworks Cache file following the export settings.

Procedure:

• Initially Open the Autodesk account and download the Naviswork Manage software.
• Now, open the Architectural model created in week 6 challenge in the Revit software.
• Then go to File - Export - NWC file.
• Now, save the file and the file is exported.

RESULT:

The Architectural and Structural model is exported to the Navisworks.

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 Navisworks file.

Procedure:

• Initially open the architecture file in the Naviswork.
• Now, go to walk option in the viewport tab of the Naviswork software.
• Use the record option in the save viewport option to record animated view of each and every room.
• Living room, Bedroom and kitchen are done walk through.
• Hence, Walk through the building is completed.

RESULT:

By using the Navisworks walk around the model is completed.

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 Realism feature to walk through the model and record moving as animation in Navisworks file. 

Procedure: 

• In the Naviswork software under the Viewport tab go to Realism and in realism click on third person. 
• Now, again record the moving from save viewport option.
• Living room, Bedroom, kitchen and Entrance are done walk through.
• Hence, the realism walk around is completed.

RESULT:

By using the Navigate tool Walk through the model using Realism is completedly successfully.

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 the clash detection test between the two models.

Procedure:

• Initially append the structural model to this architetural model.
• Then go to home tab and in that choose clash detective icon.
• Study the clashes between two models.
• List which of the clashes could be approved
• List which of the clashes could be neglected ( will be taken care later)
• List which of the clashes can be resolved.

RESULT:

The Naviswork clash analysis have been successfully carried out.

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 the Timeliner feature in Navisworks to 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. 

Procedure:

• Initially open the structural model in the revit.
• Then go to file menu - Export - NWC file
• Now, open the structural model in Naviswork software
• Now, go to Timeliner in the home tab.
• Click add task option available in the Timeliner to add new tasks.
• Next we have to update the planned and actual dates and provide type (construct).
• Click on simulate and record it and save the work.

RESULT:

Timeliner feature in the navis work has been successfully completed.
