CADWorx vs. Navisworks

CADWorx's ability to create any construction 2D drawing and the drawings editing functionalities are the best and very powerful on multiple Engineering 3D models production and event to export 3D images to other CAD platforms are quick and very simple. 3D simulation is excellent and the collaboration of multiple construction project professionals is excellent.

Navisworks is a key tool if doing any 3D model coordination with other trades. It will allow you to view your model content with others to know for certain that your design is accurate and can be assembled. Navisworks also comes with a lot of additional tools to make this process easy.

• 3D modeling features are very powerful.
• 2D documentation functionalities are flexible.
• The innovative project productivity is excellent.

• Model Viewing, the navigation tools are really easy to use for walking through the model, especially if viewpoints are set up for key locations.
• The take-offs work really well and can be very quick and easy if the model was built right.

• The rendering of big 3D designs project is very slow.
• To create 3D for different construction project can take time.
• Ability of importing big 3D files can be more functional.

• A link to BIM 360 Model Coordination is a serious shortcoming. It used to be easy to link to models loaded to BIM 360 Glue for more in depth clash detection.
• I would have liked the ability to export a simulation created in Navisworks to 3DS Max for a more immersive animation with decent material mapping and better animation tools.
• I would like to be able to view/create BIM 306 Docs/Field issues directly in Navisworks. In the current workflow we have to use other file formats to work within BIM 360. It would be more productive to be able to navigate the model through Navisworks and to create viewpoints and issues from within Navisworks.

Autodesk owns Navisworks, and it seems to have a pretty good support network. A lot of the troubleshooting or support information is provided through an online database, so you most likely would not be getting any personal attention with your issues. Since there are so many users for Navisworks, there is a lot of information on the web.

The tools on CADWorx have the best power to create big construction projects' 3D models and the rendering engine is very powerful and functional enough to render the clearest picture within a very short period of time. The simulation and easy drawings editing CADWorx are more faster and accurate documentation functionalities.

Navisworks is a master tool if we want to do any 3D model coordination with any trade of a building. It allows us to view our model content with all elements to visualize and understand for certain where our design stands in terms of accuracy and how all things can be assembled on site. Navisworks also comes with a lot of additional tools to make BIM process easy.

• CADWorx offers the most accurate 3D designs and 3D simulation functionalities are very reliable.
• Design analysis on CADWorx is excellent and easy 2D drawing production and easy editing.
• Project management and easy designs sharing through CADWorks integration is amazing.

• It helps in coordination on BIM projects. We have had major project coordination saving millions on jobs.
• Helps us win more projects as we can coordinate them
• Used to use the animation tools for site logistics. Now we use game engines.
