Activate the clash detective in Navisworks Manage, run clash tests between two selections, and export HTML reports to review hard clashes and clearance thresholds with your team.

Learn to use selection sets for zone-based clash detection in Navisworks Manage, creating saved selections for chilled water, ducting, and water supply across zones, and review model coordination steps.

Define and use a clash matrix to perform clash detection across architecture, structure, hvac, plumbing, and firefighting, classifying hard clashes and critical clashes with a legend.

Learn to build selection sets in Navisworks clash detective by using find items to filter categories like air terminals, duct accessories, and fittings, then save selections for clash matrix comparisons.

Build a 4D schedule in Navisworks Manage from construction sequence, map tasks with planned start and end dates in time liner, and simulate progress from foundation to roof.

Master Navisworks manage timeliner (4D) by configuring start and end dates, playback duration, and overlay text for project tasks and cost data.

Import external plans into Navisworks TimeLiner from CSV or Primavera. Rebuild the task hierarchy and auto-attach selection sets by matching column names to set names for automatic 4D synchronization.

Extend 4D planning in Navisworks Manage by linking 3D models to time and cost via CSV data, and calculate total cost from material, labor, equipment, and subcontractor costs for 5D.

Learn how Navisworks quantification consolidates building quantities in one workflow, from project setup and unit choices to item catalogs, and export results to Excel for the whole project.

Master complex quantification in navisworks manage by configuring project settings and generating takeoffs across fire fighting, electrical, architecture, and water supply, then export selected quantities to excel.

Explore how to apply Autodesk rendering materials to Navisworks elements, assign concrete, ceramic, or fabric finishes, and preview in full render mode for presentation-ready visuals.

Explore appearance profile in Autodesk Navisworks Manage by creating sets for foundation and floors, assigning colors per set, and saving templates to apply across models.

Learn to apply appearance profiles in Navisworks to color pipes orange, ducts red, and cable trays green by category and property, using test selections and a template for future projects.

Master Navisworks walkthroughs by navigating the model with left click, scroll rotation, gravity and collision on, and adjusting viewpoints and speed for clear presentation.

Master 4D TimeLiner animation in Navisworks Manage by linking CSV data to a Gantt-driven simulation, saving viewpoints, and exporting animated sequences as video or images.

Discover how to append multiple files in Navisworks Manage and when to use merge to import differences without duplicating elements.

Explore Navisworks Manage other options: grid visibility, full screen and split views, measure tools with coordinates, convert to markups, and annotate with clouds, ellipse, freehand, lines, and text.

Explore the Navisworks workflow by exporting from Revit as NWC, saving as NWF to collect links and enable clash detection, then deliver the complete NWD submission to the client.

Learn to create and review a 3D model, apply filters, and extract sections and quantities, plus run crash detection across systems for managers and senior engineers.

Compare traditional workflows with BIM, showing how a single BIM model provides one source of information for all departments, enabling synchronized drawings, quantities, and on-site details.

Explore the Revit interface and learn to open an existing model, distinguish open from new projects, access recent files, and use the workspace, properties, project browser, and main tabs.

Explore Revit's interface, including rotating and zooming the model with the mouse and shift, navigating the project browser, and adjusting element properties and views for architecture, structure, and mep.

Navigate a 3D BIM model by rotating with shift and the mouse scroll, zooming with the scroll wheel, and using the section box to cut and focus on areas.

Master view visibility graphics to show and hide elements in a Revit model. Control model categories and annotation categories, including section books, to reveal ducts, air terminals, and MEP equipment.

Learn to create and apply a supply air filter in visibility graphics to show or hide ducts, fittings, and accessories by system type, and override color for clarity.

Create filters for supply, return, and exhaust air with visibility graphics, color-code systems, and duplicate filters to present the ductwork clearly while checking ducts for system assignment.

Master visibility graphics and filters in Revit to color-code mechanical equipment, electrical lighting fixtures, and ceilings, using category overrides and filters to present a client-ready 3d model.

Create sections in Revit by using the section tool, selecting start and end points, and adjusting the section range to view details like pipes, lighting fixtures, and drainage pipes.

Explore using the annotate tab to add dimensions, center line measurements, and tags in a section, displaying pipe and lighting details for review.

Learn how to edit information in a Revit section by adjusting scale, updating dimension text, editing tags and family parameters for length and material, and load into project with override.
