Overall Satisfaction with Navisworks

It's been more than 3 years since I've been using Navisworks for my BIM project coordination. It's really very fast and easy to use. Mainly I'm using this software for clash coordination. It also has options like distance measurements, appearance profile, elements Move, and section views which really helps to review the models. Also, the NWC file extraction and append process is very fast.
  • Creates the sets on the basis of element parameters
  • Create clash report very quickly and also gives multiple options to export the report
  • Gives the accurate distance between objects
  • Create a 4D real-time model
  • Need more options for clash detection, e.g. clash between only the top and bottom faces of an element
  • For applying different appearance profiles users need to remove previous sets first. Which is not good. They should just provide an ON/OFF button
  • The use of Section planes are bit tricky for new users, they should add options like Revizto
  • Clash coordination is very important so yes it saves lots of time and money
  • There is also a free version of it for review purposes which saves the company's cost

Yes

The best use of Navisworks is for clash coordination, issues tracking, and model reviews. It works very fast. Also, it has good capabilities to create 4D simulations. It has good options like selection by filters, element hide unhide which helps in quick reviews. However, its rendering capabilities are not up to the mark. Also, it does not select nested families as one family which is a very bad thing in my experience.
