Autodesk Navisworks 2013 products released

I've been working with Navisworks products for 7 years, Paul even longer, and I'll be honest, this is the most excited I've been for a product release in that time.

Hi Bas,

We're going to post more details on all of these topics in the next couple of weeks so keep an eye out on the blog.

This only comes in to Timeliner and the data can be be input manually or brought through from the planning application. The accumulative costs can appear in the Simulation window.

Best Regards

Lee

Hi,

How does the 5D cost simulation look like? Which kind of cost information does it show?

Thanks.

Bas
