Master the use of Autodesk Navisworks Manage software in a Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflow with our Autodesk® Navisworks® Fundamentals Training. This course is designed to help you predict project outcomes more accurately, reduce conflicts, minimize changes, and lower project risks by leveraging the full capabilities of Navisworks.

Course Overview

This training provides comprehensive instruction on how to consolidate civil, architectural, structural, and MEP models into a single BIM model to check for conflicts and ensure project consistency. You’ll learn how to use the Review and Markup tools to communicate across disciplines, utilize the Quantification module to create accurate material estimates, and employ the TimeLiner, Animator, and Clash Detective tools to simulate construction and detect potential issues before they arise. The course also covers the use of the Rendering feature to better communicate design intent to project teams and stakeholders.

What You'll Learn

  • Understanding BIM with Navisworks: Learn the purpose of BIM and how it is effectively applied in Navisworks.
  • Navigating the Workspace: Get comfortable with the Autodesk Navisworks interface and workspace.
  • Model Consolidation: Consolidate models from different disciplines, align them correctly, and create a unified Navisworks model.
  • Saving Views and Sectioning: Save, retrieve, and section models to focus on specific areas.
  • Viewing and Investigation Tools: Use basic tools to locate, review, and measure components within the model.
  • Tags and Comments: Add tags and comments to model components for better communication and documentation.
  • Clash Detection: Review the model for clashes and ensure all components fit together seamlessly.
  • Quantification and Material Takeoffs: Perform quantification calculations and generate material takeoffs to streamline project planning.
  • Animation and Scripting: Animate and write scripts to interact with and explore the model.
  • Construction Timeline Creation: Use the TimeLiner tool to create and animate a construction timeline.
  • Rendering: Create photorealistic images to visually communicate your design intent.

Who Should Attend

This course is suitable for both new and experienced users of Autodesk Navisworks across various disciplines, including civil, architectural, structural, and MEP.

Prerequisites:

  • Ensure you have access to the latest version of Autodesk Navisworks for full compatibility. Please note that updates from Autodesk may introduce changes not covered in this course.
  • The 2024 Civil 3D Object Enabler must be installed on the computer running Navisworks.
  • A working knowledge of 3D design and task-scheduling software is recommended.
