Navisworks - 3D Design

I recently began working on a project with an engineering firm who uses Navisworks to create 3D models. I have been using AutoCAD by AutoDesk for well over 10 years now, so I am very familiar with the layout of that system, which carries over into Navisworks and therefore helped me pick up Navisworks very quickly.

Pros:

If you are familiar with the layout of other AutoDesk products, picking up Navisworks should be straightforward to you as they are structured very similarly to one another.

Cons:

I have only just recently began using Navisworks, but so far the only thing I don't really care for about Navisworks is that it creates files of a native filetype of which I have not found to be compatible in other 3D software.

Pros:

The way the software shows the Realistic view of the project and the way the other services look like is also very good and the main thing is easy to use.

Cons:

It's not connected with the revit and autocad and because of this we waste a lot of time in Co-ordinate.

Navisworks

I have used it to make view and coordinate the subs (Plumbing, Electrical, Mech, Sprinklers) in their different elements. It is pretty much the standard software so I do not have to bend arms to use this software but it is costly for the license, especially if you want all the bells and whistles like layering. It does translate revit models well.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

It is the software that most coordinators use for MEP coordination. There is a specialty that all MEP subcontractors have to coordinate their elements in a building information model (BIM) to avoid conflicts in the field. Navis is the preferred software for this use. It makes it easier to have all the different subs interface knowing that they are using the same software.

Cons:

It is a bit difficult to use in that it is one of those skills where you use it or lose it. This software is not intuitive and you have to continually use it in order to maintain your skills. It is also constantly upgrading the software so that if you are not using it on a daily basis, you will not be fully conversant in Navis.

Pros:

The idea of being able to see all the project models simultaneously when linked properly, is just amazing. We use Naviswork in the company with all of our BIM projects to make sure there aren't any interferences between all the engineering and architecture models.

Cons:

The learning curve is not small. You might want to take a short curse before starting to use Naviswork. Specially to avoid bad linking between the models.
