Beyond Design: the Construction and BIM blog

14 things you’ll be shocked you never knew about Autodesk Navisworks!

I've been travelling around a lot in the last year and met a huge number of you guys and girls at various events, we chat a lot about workflows, features of the program and how you first came to use it. However even now I find it surprising that I can show something new to even expert users that help with their day to day work. So in typical Buzzfeed style, here are 14 things you'll be shocked to know you can do with Autodesk Navisworks!!!!

1. Forget 3D, 4D, 5D 6 and 7D, did you know there's 2D support in Navisworks?

   It still shocks me that people don't know about this, so I'll shout it:- 
   NAVISWORKS HAS 2D SUPPORT!!!

   Now why is that important? Viewing a 3D file is great! It's revolutionised the way people work and coordinate with each other! However in the majority of cases, the main deliverable to the construction team on site is a set of 2D drawings, they provide additional detail you can't always get into a model, they're also a way of conveying information in a way familiar to that team. It's possible to save 2D sheets with a NWD alongside the 3D files with review, markup, viewpoints, sections, Timeliner animations then pass this to the wider team. One of the nifty features with 2D support is the ability to find the same item across other 2D sheets and the 3D models by using the 'Find Items in Other Sheets and Models' when right clicking an object. This has become even more important with 2D Quantification now in Navisworks, more on that soon.

   

2. You can create very quick quantification for building out resources and tracking changes in models.
   
   This video shows a quick workflow on how to do this, if you're an estimator you may want to do a more thorough takeoff using a preconfigured catalogue, but if you just need access to some quick quantities, Navisworks is also perfect for that.
   
   
   
   
3. You can colour up anything in the model based on properties using the Appearance Profiler

   In this case we have some Construction Progress Fields from BIM 360 Field that can be used to color up the latest state of the project before running Timeliner, allowing you to identify any problems on the critical path

   This could just as easily be used to quickly color up the different MEP systems for clarity, or phases of a project. Profiles and Search Sets can be moved from one project to the next saving time with set up.

4. You can load BIM 360 Glue projects straight into Navisworks

   It's simply a case of opening or appending the file from the BIM 360 tab in Navisworks 2015, meaning you'll always be using the latest coordinated file and able to run your latest advanced construction tasks without worrying about using the wrong version.

5. There are different ways to select items in the model

   My favourite is to use the Properties section of the Selection Tree, I also use this method to create quick searches and Search Sets, this video shows some more detail.
   
   

6. You don't even have to click on an item to view the properties of an item using Quick Properties

   You can view any properties in the model by hovering over them in the model, you just need to switch on Quick Properties and decide which properties you want to see.

   

7. You can select a number of items and just export their properties using the Selection Inspector

   If you haven't seen the Selection Inspector before, click on the icon on the Home tab, select a few objects and view the properties, again you can use the Quick Properties to decide which properties you need and then just export out a CSV of all those properties.

   

8. Navisworks now has an App Store!
   
   In Navisworks 2015 you can now start taking advantage of Autodesk's huge network of API developers who will be posting a series of free and paid extensions through the Navisworks App Store. Are you a developer yourself? You can upload your own apps and make them accessible to a wide user base, just head to the Autodesk® Exchange Apps Developer Center. A current favourite of mine is Properties+ which came about as part of customer feedback asking if there's a quick way to just view the properties you need rather than the multiple tabs of all the properties, this is the result, try it out, it's free!
   
   
9. Render Navisworks files in The Cloud
   
   For those of you using Revit, you will already know cloud rendering is easy, quick and gives amazing results, now it's available in Navisworks, meaning you can pull together all your files, no matter which application they came from and produce amazing renders. For example I'm no rendering expert but this Panorama took around 20 minutes to drag and drop some materials, send to the cloud and receive this impressive rendering back. You can also do illuminance studies in the cloud too!
   
   
10. Did you know you can create cache files automatically overnight?
    
    What's the best way to save time whilst files are loading, get them to cache whilst you're asleep! It'll save you time and money every morning! You can automatically create an NWD every week to give a snapshot of where the project is up to. Make sure you run Navisworks as an Administrator and run the Batch Utility, you can then set up your automated tasks using the Windows Task Scheduler.
    
    
11. You can create Time based clashes to ensure you have enough clearance on site for moving objects

    This would help with getting large machines or loads through a site, for example this video shows how moving an escalator through a 3D model would allow you to identify problems before you get to site. More information on linking animations to Timeliner Tasks can be found in this blog post

12. You can see your model with 3D glasses!

    If you have supported hardware you can enable Stereo viewing. More information on Stereo Viewing in Navisworks can be found on the blog.

13. You can link to a database or spreadsheet if you ever need more properties

    There's more information on how to do this in an older blog post How to Link a Database using Navisworks Datatools

14. Autodesk has great IFC Support

    In fact we have huge support for the IFC file format across Autodesk, look at our Interoperability page at www.autodesk.com/ifc for more information about our IFC certifications across Autodesk products and support of COBie with a COBie exporter from Revit which completed the COBie challenge with top honours in 2013 and 2014.

Connecting the dots – 2015 Product Launch and BIM 360

It's the time of year where we head to the hills and start shouting about our new releases, except this year we have something different to shout about. Normally you'll see us reeling of a list of features for each product we release, which is great, and useful, but we understand not many of you work in isolation on one product all year. Which is why I'm so excited about this year. Yes there's new product features, yes there's enhancements and improvements to your favourite products (Revit, Navisworks and AutoCAD), but the difference this year is how connected they all become!

With BIM 360 Glue we've noticed a huge difference in how design teams are working, they're collaborating more frequently in the design process rather than in a high pressure review meeting. This is helping improve the quality of designs that get to the construction site and reduce the number of RFI's as the 3D model is being refined and provides an additional level of information that a 2D drawing doesn't always convey. In the 2015 releases of Revit, Navisworks and all of the AutoCAD verticals (MEP, Architecture, Civil 3D etc) you'll find a lovely shiny new BIM 360 toolbar!

AutoCAD (and verticals)

Revit

Navisworks

In your design applications this allows you to easily 'Glue' the latest version of the model to the cloud from this toolbar, no messy plugins, and also pull down Clash pinpoints, clashes in the model found by yourself or others, allowing you to really quickly find the issue and resolve it there and then. In Navisworks you can Glue a previously coordinated model from within the application, but more importantly, you can open a live BIM 360 Glue model straight into Navisworks, no problems with versioning, or working out if your file is out of date!

This brings me to what you can do with that model when you open the live coordinated model in Navisworks! As well as advanced workflows that have been possible for years like construction simulation, walkthroughs, advanced clashing (time based, animated objects, advanced rules) and rendering (which has been moved up a notch with Rendering in the Cloud!), you'll now also be able to do much much more with Quantification.

Quantification is vital for a range of roles, from estimators to planners to site managers to members of the design team. Improvements for 2015 include 2D quantification to add additional detail to your model based take off, take-off mapping allowing you to easilyu set up different property mappings for standard measurements, and the ability to take off multiple items on the same node, meaning should you wish to, you can take off the entire model in a single drag and drop.

More details about all of these features in the coming weeks, and we didn't even mention additional integration between BIM 360 Glue and Field……

4D Projection mapping, using buildings as a canvas

This is a blog post I've been meaning to write for at least 6 months but I was given a pleasant reminder about it on a recent visit to Moscow for AU Russia. After a hectic conference where I was presenting sessions on BIM 360 Field, Glue and Navisworks and Revit interoperability with translators, we were lucky enough to get out and do some sightseeing. We saw the usual sights with the added spectacle of a grand stage and rehearsals in Red Square for the welcoming of the Olympic flame for the Sochi 2014 Winter Games, in the evening we were encouraged to head out to the Circle of Light Festival.

So that evening, braving the harsh Moscow weather and trying not to get lost on the Moscow Metro I headed out to the Bolshoi Theatre, home of the world famous Bolshoi ballet group, to watch the best example of 4D projection mapping against building I've seen in person. It looks great on video, but seeing this sort of thing in person gives you a completely new view about how we perceive this big static structures. This may be the only time you'll see ballet mentioned on a construction blog, so here's a video of ballet against one of the most famous theatres in the world.

And here's a couple more (in case watching ballet at work will get you in trouble!)

4D Projection Mapping is pretty clever, using multiple projectors to add depth to the projection, covering multiple faces of the object that is being projected against, and make the animation truly stand out. It's an interesting workflow where you can use Reality Capture products like Autodesk Recap to pick up existing conditions without modelling everything from scratch, and Autodesk 3DS Max to visualise the different viewpoints of the projectors and you can start creating an animation which should blow people away. There's plenty of help out there to start producing these kinds of visuals, and one of our Visual Effects experts, Louis Marcoux, did a talk about this at Autodesk University 2012, his handout is available after you log in with a step by step guide on how to set this up.

Now I lay down a challenge, primarily this has been used for entertainment, but the power of seeing something like this for a local community could really get them on board with the idea of a new building or project. These products are already available for you in the Infrastructure and Building Design Suites, so why not extend their use. I'd love to see a 4D Construction timeline projected against a building site, maybe from a nearby high building, or a renovation sequence of an old building, or a demolition sequence shown against the building before it's destroyed. Does that sound like something you could see yourselves doing? Get in touch at [email protected] or leave a comment and let us know how you get on.

How to use BIM 360 and Navisworks on your projects

Let's face it, today's building and infrastructure projects are complex. Time and cost overruns are often due to unresolved conflicts between disciplines and not having access up-to-date information. These complex projects require better coordination and collaboration across disciplines, companies, and locations – and project team members need accurate, up-to-date information. Essentially they need a single source of truth for BIM, and that is where BIM 360 comes in.

So how can BIM 360 help improve your coordination and collaboration process to prevent issues and drive higher quality and profitability?

By using Navisworks with BIM 360, you can ensure that everyone on the team has access to the "single version of the truth," collaborate and connect with the rest of the team for collaborative project review and coordination workflows.  This integrated BIM 360 solution gives you and your team access to the most up-to-date project data in the cloud, anytime, anywhere. There are different points of access tailored for specific roles, such as direct access from desktop apps for designers and VDC managers, and mobile access for project managers, clients, and field personnel.

It's important to know that Navisworks and BIM 360 share the same core technology for large model viewing, navigation, and clash detection. If you run a clash test in Navisworks and the same test in BIM 360, you will get the same results. Navisworks and BIM 360 share the same data structure – which supports round-trip data exchange throughout.

There are various approaches on how you can use Navisworks and BIM 360 on your projects. It depends on your project scenario which approach is right for you. So let's look at the options available to you:

1. Share coordinated models with the team

The first approach is to take the aggregated project model in Navisworks and share it with the rest of the team in BIM 360. To do this start by bringing the various discipline models together in Navisworks, just like you do today. Then, use the BIM 360 add-in app to "glue" the model to BIM 360. This provides access to the latest model and intelligent model data for the rest of the team. BIM 360 enables collaborative project review workflows, where team members can have "one-click-to-BIM" access to the model, and easily view and navigate the model and add markups and comments.

2. Collect project models from the team

The second approach is to use BIM 360 to gather and manage the models from the team and then bring those models into Navisworks for coordination and analysis. You can use BIM 360 to collect the models from your team and centrally manage these models with version control, activity tracking and notifications whenever a new model or version is added. Once the models are in BIM 360, you get all of the other benefits with anywhere access and project review and markup for the rest of the team. And customers using BIM 360 are saving over 8 hours a week, simply because they no longer need to manage files and manually distribute updates. Inside Navisworks use the BIM 360 add-in to open the latest models from BIM 360 Glue.

3. Empower the team to coordinate and resolve clashes

Beyond leveraging BIM 360 for anywhere access, the next approach is to empower the team to coordinate between themselves, which helps them to resolve many of the smaller, obvious clashes before the weekly coordination meeting. With BIM 360, the team is empowered to continuously coordinate between themselves and resolve clashes quickly. The continuous, collaborative team-based coordination greatly reduces the number of clashes to review at the weekly coordination meetings, and lets the team focus on what's important. One customer who has taken this type of team-based approach is WSP. They use Navisworks for formal clash detection, and publish the models to BIM 360 for team-based coordination and collaborative project reviews. They also use BIM 360 to provide easy web and mobile access for project stakeholders.

There are several options to get access to the model offline. The BIM 360 Glue mobile app caches models on your iPad so you can view these and even create markups while offline. Opening the model from BIM 360 Glue in Navisworks lets you keep a local copy which gives you offline access for your desktop (or rather laptop/notebook).

4. Coordinate the project in BIM 360

And finally, you can take the approach of using BIM 360 for all project clash detection and collaborative coordination, and Navisworks for advanced workflows such as model-based quantity takeoff, 4D animated timelines and develop stunning renderings. Clayco are saving 1.7 hours per week per person by using BIM 360 for mobile access to BIM and field data. And by using BIM 360 for team-based coordination, they have reduced their coordination meeting times to less than 2 hours!

As you can see there are various options that will help you to connect your project team. The above provides the menu of options to choose from so that you can meet each project's unique needs. We've recorded the "Navisworks and the Glue connection webinar" in case you've missed it or would like to share it with a colleague so you can see these workflows in action.

Now all you need to do to immediately find out how this works in practice is to sign up to a 30 day trial of BIM 360 Glue.

BIM 360 Glue Collaboration Goes Mobile

Today sees the launch of the BIM 360 Glue mobile app for iPad, version 2.0 – and with it, another milestone moment for the solution is met as mobile users are enabled to collaborate with their BIM 360 Glue project team members. This new version provides the ability to create new markups whether online or offline and respond to markups created by other BIM 360 project members. In addition, BIM 360 view and markup notifications are now delivered via the iOS Notification Center, so that you receive alerts even when not using the app.

From the feedback we've received, I know this functionality has been long awaited, and I'm really excited to be announcing its arrival. Here's an overview of what the 2.0 release has to offer:

Access project markups anytime, anywhere

All markups that are created in BIM 360 Glue – in the office or in the field - are stored in the BIM 360 cloud. Upon opening a model, all project model markups are automatically updated and displayed in the Markups panel.

To display any new and updated markups for other project members, pull down and release the Markups panel to refresh [requires network connectivity].

Create markups and communicate with BIM 360 Glue project members

Add new markups or add responses to existing markups with the intuitive Freehand and Text tools. Share your newly created markups with project members in real-time [network connection required].

You can also delete any markups that you have created by swiping the row in the Markups panel to reveal the Delete button.

Offline support

Even offline, you can create, notify and delete markups. Once network connectivity is restored, your work will be automatically synchronized with the BIM 360 cloud.

Receive iPad Notifications for "One-Click to BIM"

In addition to standard email notifications, iPad users will also be able to receive alerts via the iOS Notification Center.

Views and Markups that have been shared by other project members will be delivered to the iPad even when you're not using the app. This will provide "1-click to BIM" functionality, automatically opening the app, loading the relevant model and taking you directly to the shared view or markup.

Incremental zoom

The Markups panel introduces a new 2-finger pinch/spread interaction (as you would zoom in/out of a photo), enabling you to zoom in/out to see more/less information.

Once zoomed in to the Markups panel, you will be able to see longer markup names, along with accessing the latest five responses by author.

Improved support for hidden objects in views and markups

Views and markups created in BIM 360 Glue may contain hidden objects, such as walls and ceilings. These will continue to be hidden when viewed in the mobile app.

If you create a new markup with hidden objects in the Glue mobile app, the precise view will be similarly respected across BIM 360 Glue.

Here are a few useful links to find out more, and importantly, where to get the app:

Managing your discipline and coordination models with Autodesk Vault

Today I want to share with you a workflow for coordinating models that are stored inside Autodesk Vault. This allows everyone on the project team to have access to the most up to date models, and share the coordinated model easily within the team. And with a clever integration to Autodesk Buzzsaw you can easily receive individual discipline models and share aggregated results with external partners.

What exactly is Autodesk Vault?

At its core Vault is your central place to manage all documents, models, and other files for your projects. Everyone knows where to put information, and therefore where to find it. Some call it the single source of truth. So you might ask why one would use Vault, as a network share surely does the same thing? Yes it does, and Vault does a whole lot more that you probably care about when managing projects with lots of data. Examples are:

• Built-in audit trail and document history
• Finding documents easily and quickly
• Capturing document relationships (XRefs, Revit linked models)
• Quick previews of models and sheets topped with the ability to
  manage the workflow of these documents

If you want to learn more please visit this page about Autodesk Vault features.

So if you're already using Vault to manage your AutoCAD drawings, Revit models, Office documents and other project documents, let's take the next step and look into coordinating models that are in Vault. I also suggest you visit the links mentioned above to see how you can improve collaboration in your project.

Streamlined workflow

The advantages of using Autodesk Vault to manage your coordination model are the following:

• Central location for discipline and coordinated model
• Easily append and update coordinated model with discipline models
  
  

  Vault ribbon in Navisworks
• Receive, share models and results with externals by extending Autodesk Vault data management to the cloud through synchronizing with Autodesk Buzzsaw. This allows for automatically pulling down discipline models from external companies into your secure Vault environment.
• Control workflow states of discipline and coordinated model directly from within Navisworks
  
  

  Vault browser in Navisworks
• Relationship and history tracking of discipline, coordinate model and sheets
• Easily import 2D sheets that are already inside Vault
• Quickly see status and key data of discipline and coordinated model inside Navisworks
  
  

  Details in Vault browser

How do you make it work?

Here's a step-by-step guide to make this work for you:

1. Ensure discipline models are available inside Autodesk Vault
2. Append from Vault to create your coordination model
3. Save the Navisworks file set (NWF) locally and check in to Vault.
   This will add the file to Vault, build the relationship to the discipline models and make it available for others on your team.
4. Optional: save as Navisworks NWD and also check this into Vault.
   This will make it possible to share easily and regularly with externals via Autodesk Buzzsaw through the synchronization feature.

You can take this further by applying lifecycle states to your discipline and coordinated models. This will help lock it down and make sure only authorised users can make edits. 

Updates to the discipline model

When the discipline model gets updated, i.e. a newer version is available in Autodesk Vault this will automatically update your coordination model next time you open it with Navisworks. Make sure to capture important milestones as Navisworks NWD and check these back into Vault. If the discipline model gets updated while you have the coordination model open in Navisworks you will be notified through the Vault browser status icons that there is an updated version and you simply refresh from Vault.

BIM Workflows Connected with Glue

This week the latest version of BIM 360 Glue was released; offering a completely redesigned user interface, making it quick and easy for project participants to share, review and coordinate models. In addition to the improved UI, under the hood has also received significant attention, now with Autodesk core technology for BIM viewing and coordination as found in Navisworks. This brings consistency in model viewing across desktop, cloud and mobile solutions from Navisworks to BIM 360 Glue and BIM 360 Field. And with consistent clash technology being used, the same clash test being run in Navisworks and BIM 360 Glue will yield identical results. Another huge advancement in my opinion is the Glue integration with Navisworks – in the previous version you could push Navisworks model up to Glue, but now you can open and append models and merged models directly from Glue too.

In this post, I want to highlight the collaboration BIM 360 Glue can bring to your projects - connecting designers, construction professionals and clients, to facilitate better project outcomes.

Designers

Architectural and Engineering design professionals can upload their models to BIM 360 Glue, making them immediately available for the whole team. With continuous access to the latest model versions, designers are able to perform their own coordination ahead of weekly/bi-weekly review meetings – think of this as "reducing the noise", and making broader team reviews more focused and productive.

Glue add-in applications make it even easier to work with Glue from within authoring applications such as Revit, AutoCAD and Civil 3D. These add-ins enable you to send your models directly to Glue; and when clashes are found with your model, you can open the clash report within your design app and quickly access the clashing element to make the necessary design changes.

Get all of the latest add-ins here: https://b4.autodesk.com/addins/addins.html

BIM/VDC Managers

The design models can be merged to create federated models, which may initially be carried out by a BIM/VDC Manager - though it doesn't need to be; anyone can create a merged model, combining any combination of individual discipline models – you can think of merged models as being similar to an NWF in Navisworks, a project model referencing individual design models. And merged models will automatically update whenever the design teams update their constituent models. Everyone has immediate access to the latest federated model, without needing to wait for it to be curated and re-published, speeding up the entire coordination and collaboration cycle, and freeing up time for more value add pre-construction activities.

Construction Professionals

As mentioned above, anyone currently using Navisworks, can now access project models from Glue. Thereby ensuring they're working with the latest designs, they can perform advanced project analysis such as 4D simulation and quantification. Their Navisworks project NWF will be referencing the model data in Glue, so whenever they open the NWF it will bring down the latest model versions from Glue. Running Change Analysis in the Navisworks Quantification tool for example, provides an efficient workflow for identifying change between design iterations.

You can additionally append individual discipline models from Glue and create your own federated model in Navisworks, then Glue this back to the cloud server for access by all. Which brings me nicely onto…

Clients and Extended Team

BIM 360 Glue is exceptionally good at getting everyone on the same page, ensuring everyone is up to date, and sharing the same information. Whether you're a BIM guru or novice; in the office or the field; coordinating models or installing equipment, there's an app to suit your workflows. Clients for example can access the individual disciplines and federated models in the BIM 360 Glue mobile app for iPad. This provides continuous and consistent access to the latest models, providing transparency and ensuring buy-in and engagement from the client throughout the project.

Check out this Case Study from M Moser Associates to learn about how they are using BIM 360 Glue to deliver projects on time and within budget, with improved client engagement throughout the project.

Also visit the BIM 360 Glue website to find out more about the latest release, and try it for yourself with a Free Trial.

BIM 360 Glue mobile update available

A new version of the BIM 360 Glue mobile app for iPad is available now! This latest release offers improved visualization – which looks particularly stunning on the iPad retina screen – and support for the Navisworks 2014 NWD format.

Crisp Graphics

The earlier versions of the Glue mobile app showed slightly jagged edges to model objects, which was accentuated on the high resolution retina displays found on the iPad 3 and 4.

This release displays models at their best; with crisp, clean edges and greater clarity of details – such as the railings in these screenshots.

Navisworks 2014 NWD Support

2014 NWD models can now be transferred directly to the app. Sign in with your Autodesk ID to explore your Navisworks models, access saved views, markup and object properties.

Get the app now!

View the app in the iTunes AppStore
