    Navisworks allows viewing of our model content with others to know whether our design is correct and can be assembled for final stage. As compared to Bentley software, Navisworks is good in terms of asset management, reporting, and analysis. Its model viewing and navigation …

    Navisworks does not have a mobile app or internal issue tracking but it integrates well with other apps. It's easier to navigate and run clash detection. The desktop program is more robust and offers more functionality.

    Navisworks is the go-to system for 3D BIM/MEP coordination. I don't know of many other options that are standardized/uniformly recognized as the base system in 3D coordination.

    I have not used a lot of other software to compare Navisworks to but Revit is probably the closest to what Navisworks does. Revit is a lot more focused on the model creation and Navisworks is a bit more well equipped for reviewing and analyzing an already created model. Some of …

    Revizto - no inherent clash detection but great clash detection reporting and issue tracking
    Synchro - 4D scheduling software that is much better than Navisworks in that space.
    Navis is the standard so no requrement to force new software on the project teams.

    Chose Navisworks
    Our company only uses Autodesk software, so I could not find and alternative to Navisworks to match the functionality of Naviswork with Revit, Civil 3D and Plant 3D. The only alternative for us is to use BIM 360 Model Coordination which lacks the search and visual impact of …

    As described earlier, I really like that Navisworks is a desktop-run application rather than a web-based application. It runs smoothly and is relatively easy to use.

    Assemble's biggest negative is that because it's web-based, you often find yourself waiting for things to load. …

    BIM 360 Glue - Not as user-friendly and the fact that your orientation in the model resets every time you refresh your model drives me insane. I much prefer the Navisworks clash detection and file management.

    Pros
    Autodesk
    • 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
    Autodesk
    • 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.

    • 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.
