Overall Satisfaction with Navisworks
It's used across the whole organization. It's used by operations for clash detection and in some rare cases, it's used in estimating for quantification and project understanding.
- When flying through the model, it's very smooth unlike the web-based application Assemble or the heavy application Revit.
- Creating saved views and search sets is very easy.
- The quantification aspect is a little "clunky" and not all that intuitive.
- Creating search sets can be difficult and cumbersome (saving them is nice and easy). It would be nice to be able to simply search out an item using key words.
- In operations, the clash detection feature has been very positive.
- In preconstruction/estimating, it's been positive, but I can't say there is a direct indication of a positive ROI. It does, however, help with the precon/estimating process.
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. However, Assemble is much much easier to use and extract quantities. This is obviously from a precon/estimating perspective.
