Quickly get up and running in Navisworks. Learn how to create virtual builds and walk-throughs of your models and anticipate outcomes before you begin.
Navisworks spans the design and the construction worlds. This course was designed for residents of both: construction personnel, architects, and engineers who are looking to integrate design with the as-built world. Join instructor Eric Wing as he shows how to use Navisworks Manage and Navisworks Simulate to gain control and get a holistic view of your projects. Eric shows how to manage models, clash the models for interference, and virtually construct a building using a construction timeline. He also shows how to create material takeoffs and conduct interactive walk-throughs. On the surface, Navisworks might look like just a file viewer, but with this course, you can learn things about its analysis and simulation tools that would be either impossible or impossibly expensive any other way.
