Summary

This class will introduce you to the main features and functionality of Autodesk^® NavisWorks^® You will learn how to open and append 3D files of different formats and save in NavisWorks format You will create links to object properties files and scheduling files in external databases You will perform visual project model reviews using the built-in review and reporting tools You will also learn how to create construction simulations of a project model to check validity of construction schedules

You will use Animator and Scripter to create interactive animations for presentations and demonstrations You will add true-to-life materials, and lighting and backgrounds to project models, to create photorealistic output and perform interference detection tests between 3D files of different disciplines to check integrity of the design

Who should Attend
