Consistent, Coordinated, Correct

Integrating the functionality of both Autodesk Navisworks Review and Autodesk Navisworks Simulate with powerful clash detection capabilities, Autodesk Navisworks Manage provides the most complete Navisworks design project review solution. Navisworks Manage adds precise fault-finding analysis and interference management to the dynamic 4D project schedule simulation and photorealistic visualization of Autodesk Navisworks Simulate. Enabling consistent, coordinated, and correct construction documentation, Navisworks Manage streamlines workflow across your organization and extended teams, helping to reduce waste, increase efficiency, and significantly reduce change orders.

Through effective identification, inspection, and reporting of potential interferences in a 3D project model, Navisworks Manage reduces error-prone manual checking. Navisworks Manage enables users to check time and space coordination, improving site and workflow planning. Control and peace of mind are enhanced through automated coordination analysis of 3D designs. Early fault prediction and error recognition help to prevent costly miscalculations. Combine all your 3D data, regardless of file size, from multiple formats into a faithful facility model for viewing and analyzing all digital information.

Navisworks Manage combines precise fault-finding with hard and clearance clash management. Quickly review and cross-check geometry created by competing 3D design software. Maintain a complete and valuable record of all interferences found throughout your project. Check for time and space coordination and virtually eliminate workflow issues at the planning stage. Point and line-based clashing enable coordination of a laser-scanned as-built environment with the virtual model.

Faster Navigation and Checking

Real-time visualization enables fast navigation and review of complex 3D models and all the project information they contain. Use Navisworks Manage to effectively explore your designs without the need for preprogrammed animation, advanced hardware, or special skills.

Reasons to Buy

Reason 1

Problem: The large and complex models generated for building information modeling (BIM) and 3D plant design projects cannot be viewed, explored, and understood easily.

Solution: Autodesk Navisworks 3D project review software products† deliver an innovative technology that compresses files for interactive visualization and smooth real-time walk-through, so you can navigate, explore, and review even the largest and most complex 3D models on standard PCs.

Reason 2

Problem: The need to visualize and coordinate your designs in a single, whole-project view with other design consultants or construction disciplines.

Solution: Autodesk Navisworks 3D project review software products† offer compatibility with most major native design and laser-scan file formats, which means that 3D design data created in 3D plant design and BIM applications such as the AutoCAD® software and Autodesk® Revit®-based products can be combined with geometry and information created with other design tools and then reviewed.

Reason 3

Problem: Do you need to share your 3D designs with others and offer a single, whole-project view to all stakeholders to review or view?

Solution: The single Navisworks whole-project view can be published in both Autodesk Navisworks native NWD format and 3D DWF™ format, giving all stakeholders access. Autodesk® Navisworks® Freedom software is the free* viewer for both file types.

Reason 4

Problem: The value of the design data created in BIM and in 3D plant design projects is not being fully realized and is limited by access to the originating design application and the skills to use such software.

Solution: Autodesk Navisworks 3D project review software products† and their real-time environment are perfect for faster review, offering a more reliable way to challenge and check the detailed design. Navisworks applications have been created to be easier to use without CAD skills or design software.

Reason 5

Problem: Design project review requires a distinct set of tools to provide design insight and construction/operational predictability, and these are not consistently available in design applications.

Solution: Autodesk Navisworks 3D project review software products† deliver a rich and powerful toolkit that includes measure, mark up, and comment to aid project model understanding and analysis.

Reason 6

Problem: The need to walk-through and experience your design in real-time before it is real, to rapidly validate and present intent at the early bid/tender stage as a 3D interactive proposal.

Solution: Autodesk® Navisworks® Review 2010 software, Autodesk® Navisworks® Simulate 2010 software, and Autodesk® Navisworks® Manage 2010 software open native CAD files for real-time walk-through of the project. The experience can be extended, giving all stakeholders access to the whole-project view using Autodesk® Navisworks® Freedom 2010 software.

Reason 7

Problem: The need get full value from existing construction planning software and to simulate time or planning schedules with the CAD model to create a 4D construction sequence to highlight and resolve on-site issues.

Solution: Both Navisworks Simulate and Navisworks Manage help give you the power to create an easier-to-understand visual simulation of work processes by linking existing 3D model data and project schedules.

Reason 8

Problem: Would you like to clash your design with others?

Solution: Autodesk Navisworks Manage can clash any of the file formats that it can read and delivers more effective identification, inspection, and reporting of interferences in a 3D project model, which means that you can help ensure your design is issue free.

Autodesk® Navisworks® Simulate software

Autodesk Navisworks Simulate software adds the dynamic power of 4D scheduling and photorealism to Autodesk Navisworks Review software. The value of existing design data is extended to create clear descriptive content that demonstrates design intent and simulates construction to drive insight and predictability. When you can virtually experience your project in a visual context before the physical work begins, you can evaluate and verify the materials and textures appropriate to your intended design.

Autodesk Navisworks Review

Autodesk Navisworks Review software extends access to existing design data for real-time visualization and collaborative review, regardless of file size or format. Dynamic navigation and intuitive review tools make it easy to understand even the most complex 3D models. Entire project models can be published and viewed in NWD and 3D DWF file formats to provide valuable digital assets during and after construction.

Autodesk Navisworks Freedom

Autodesk Navisworks Freedom software is the free* viewer application for Autodesk Navisworks NWD and 3D DWF™ files. With Autodesk Navisworks project review products†, you can combine design data regardless of file size or format and publish a whole-project view. Navisworks Freedom and NWD files give stakeholders better access to whole-project views.
