NavisWorks is a powerful 3D/4D design review software that enhances quality and productivity throughout the entire lifecycle of engineering projects. Within design workflows, NavisWorks Manage enables the integration of project design drawings and outputs from architectural professionals into a single, synchronized building information model.
This unified model allows all stakeholders to view the project comprehensively, reviewing integrated data and designs together. Such a holistic approach optimizes various aspects including design decision-making, building execution, performance prediction, planning, facility management, and operations. It facilitates coordination of regulations, conflict resolution, and effective project planning before construction or renovation begins.
By significantly improving work efficiency and reducing design issues, NavisWorks serves as a robust platform for streamlined project engineering development. It supports all major CAD data formats on the market, including DWG, 3DS, NWD, DWF, and more. Additionally, the software features a flexible, upgradable, and programmable user interface.
Below is a demonstration of the installation process using the 2014 version, which is similar to the 2013 version:
