Navisworks Fundamentals for Construction Coordination

Tired of discovering design conflicts during construction? Coordinating complex 3D models from different teams is a major challenge in any building project, often leading to costly rework and delays. This course provides a foundational understanding of Navisworks, guiding you through the process of combining multi-disciplinary models into a single, navigable project. You will learn to proactively identify and resolve clashes between architectural, structural, and MEP systems before they become expensive problems on site, ensuring smoother project execution. What you'll learn: - Understand the core concepts of model aggregation and the role of Navisworks in the BIM lifecycle. - Learn to append and manage various 3D model formats (like RVT and DWG) into a unified Navisworks project. - Master the fundamentals of Clash Detective to set up, run, and analyze tests for design conflicts. - Practice creating viewpoints, sectioning models, and generating clear reports to communicate issues with your team. - Explore the Timeliner tool to create basic 4D construction sequencing simulations. - Apply basic quantification techniques to perform material takeoffs from your aggregated model. - Grasp modern collaborative workflows for reviewing models within a shared project data environment. The course begins with essential terminology and an overview of the user interface, then progresses to practical, hands-on exercises covering model review, clash detection, and reporting. This course is designed for absolute beginners. No prior experience with Navisworks is required, though a basic familiarity with 3D design concepts is helpful.
