Overall Satisfaction with Navisworks

As a BIM Engineer, we did the modeling of metro stations, substations. Navisworks helps us to combine all the models i.e architecture, structure, electrical together for collaboration and do thorough clash detection at the early stage of our design so that we can remove the clashes by combining all the models and design a clash-free model.
  • Clash detection
  • Collaboration
  • Simulation
  • The free version of Navisworks is unable to append new files.
  • One thing about Navisworks is that it doesn't have the facility to go to the 3D view of a particular area, autodesk may take a look over that.
  • Sometimes it shows many clashes for a single clash thus increasing the number of clashes in the final report.
  • Clash detection
  • We can open and combine 3D models and navigate them in real-time
  • We can set the view points
  • Yes it is worth having Navisworks, as it can detect clashes and its other features help to complete models clash-free thus increasing productivity and saving time.
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 tools are really good and easy to use.

Do you think Navisworks delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Navisworks's feature set?

Yes

Did Navisworks live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Navisworks go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Navisworks again?

Yes

As Navisworks is available in two versions i.e Navisworks Manage and Navisworks Simulate, the best features of Navisworks Manage is that we are able to know about the clashes of complex models which is hard to know in Revit. It detects collision over the design of different models and thus improving the coordination and avoiding costly remedies after the final design and construction stage.
