Top 5 Reasons to Buy Autodesk Navisworks
1. Easy, interactive design review and visualization
Easily view, explore, and analyze complex models generated for 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM) projects. Autodesk® Navisworks® 3D project review software products compress files for interactive visualization and smooth real-time walk-through.
  • Navigate, explore, and review large and complex 3D models
  • Work on standard PCs without having to master CAD skills or design software
2. Design and Model Coordination in One Place
Visualize and coordinate designs with multiple stakeholders. Autodesk® Navisworks® 3D project review software products offer:
  • Compatibility with most major native design and laser-scan file formats
  • The capability to combine 3D design data created in 3D BIM applications—such as AutoCAD® software and Autodesk® Revit®-based products—with geometry and information created with other design tools
  • A single, whole-project view
In the latest release a number of interoperability improvements to workflows between Autodesk® Revit® products and Autodesk® Navisworks® products help to increase your productivity. Switchback enables you to move quickly between views in Navisworks products and Revit products for easier navigation and visualization. Support for new Revit Construction Modeling tools enables you to pass your construction components into Navisworks for 4D simulation. This release also supports Revit properties, including areas, volumes and points, along with Revit-linked files and split regions.
3. Save on Project Time and Costs
Anticipate and avoid potential problems before construction. Autodesk® Navisworks® software products help you gain visibility into your projects to reduce expensive delays and rework.
  • Perform clash tests against specified geometry to more easily find and resolve conflicts with Autodesk® Navisworks® Manage software
  • Leverage your existing construction planning software to simulate schedules and logistics with 3D models to create 4D construction sequences that can highlight planned and actual activities to resolve on-site issues
The latest release includes a number of improvements to the Clash Detective tool that can better support management and resolution of project clashes. Workflow tools enable you to assign ownership of clashes. Improved reporting tools provide you with a batch summary of the status of your clashes and the ability to export a formatted report directly to Microsoft® Office Excel® software. Better visualization of clashes is supported by a new wireframe view and a clash focus feature.
4. Multisheet 2D DWF Support
Navisworks now offers multisheet 2D DWF™ support, so you can open, review and explore your 2D datasets alongside your 3D models. The 2D view is integrated with the 3D environment, enabling you to select a model component in the 3D world and then find and review the same component in a 2D representation (such as a floor plan or section). This parallel viewing capability provides you with a greater level of detail, helping you to make more accurate and timely decisions on project tasks.
5. File Interoperability
Navisworks continues to improve the level of interoperability with the applications used by your project team. Along with updates to support the latest versions of Autodesk® applications, including DWFx, this release sees enhanced support for Primavera®, Faro®, RVM, Pro/ENGINEER®, Sketchup® and DGN to help keep your Navisworks workflows current with the latest version of interoperable design and planning software.
