Constructware is well suited for many different types of projects in both real estate and infrastructure. However, it is now becoming outdated with the introduction of the BIM 360 platform. I think even Autodesk may plan to slowly stop rolling out subscriptions to Cnstructware since most of its functions are now getting added on to BIM 360.

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.

Pros
Constructware (discontinued)
- Provenance. Keeps track of changes and the people/companies who made those changes.
- Collaboration.
- Work [is stored] in the cloud.

- 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.

Cons
Constructware (discontinued)
- UI can be improved, as shown by improvements made in BIM 360.
- Only works well with Internet Explorer.
- Steep Learning Curve due to confusing UI.

- 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.

Better than Unifier:1. Better UI2. Everything else is about the sameBim360 is now the go-to platform for all functions previously provided by Constructware.

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.

- 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.
