1. Autodesk Navisworks shortlyThe Autodesk Navisworks family of products helps architecture, engineering, and constructionteams improve control over the outcome of their projects. With Navisworks solutions, detaileddesign models can be aggregated and reviewed by all project stakeholders, helping users to benefitfrom the competitive advantages of building information modelling (BIM) workflows. BIMprocesses allow team members to explore a project’s key physical and functional characteristicsdigitally before it is built, helping to deliver projects faster, more economically, and with reducedenvironmental impact. With Autodesk Navisworks solutions, users can combine design datacreated in applications—such as the AutoCAD software and Autodesk Revit -basedapplications—with geometry and information from other design tools in multiple file formats,regardless of file size. The result is a whole-project view that helps all project stakeholders to makebetter design decisions, increase accuracy of construction documentation, and predict performanceand planning. The Autodesk Navisworks software family offers three products to provideproject stakeholders with the right tools to help collaborate, coordinate, and communicate moreeffectively. Autodesk Navisworks is a perfect tool for project groups in building and processplant industryAutodesk Navisworks ManageAutodesk Navisworks Manage software is a comprehensive review solution for analysis,simulation, and coordination of project information.

To open and append models in Navisworks To open files in Autodesk Navisworks, you can either use a standard Open dialog box or drag anddrop files directly into the Selection Tree window.Note if the chosen file is a CAD or laser scan file, Autodesk Navisworks automatically uses anappropriate file reader to open it, provided this file format is supported.Autodesk Navisworks keeps a list of recently opened files (by default, up to 4 files are shown). Youcan open any of these files by clicking the application buttonof this list, use the Options Editor (General node. If you want to modify the sizeEnvironment page).You can use the SHIFT and CTRL keys to open several files at the same time. This automaticallycreates a new “Untitled” Navisworks file with the selected files appended together.For NWD files, it is possible to publish them to a web server, and then open them directly fromwithin Navisworks. You can start navigating the model even before the file has been fullydownloaded. For this, 10 - 50% is usually sufficient. The greater the hierarchical structure of themodel, the closer to 50% download is required. Similarly, the lesser the hierarchical structure of themodel, the sooner you can begin the navigation.When you save a Navisworks file, you have a choice between an NWD and NWF file formats.As a rule of thumb, use an NWF file format to save the scene you created by bringing all modelfiles together, and an NWD file format when you simply want a snapshot of your current work.5
Both formats store the review mark up’s, but NWD file stores the file geometry, while NWF filestores the links to original files. This makes NWF files considerably smaller in size. Also when youopen an NWF file, Autodesk Navisworks automatically reloads all modified referenced files, whichmeans the geometry is always up-to-date, even for the most complex models.On the other hand, whenever you need to share the scene you created and review markups withothers, it is best to distribute a published NWD file, which includes additional features such aspassword protection and file expiration date. The published files can be viewed in both AutodeskNavisworks Manage 2013 and Autodesk Navisworks Freedom 2013 (a free viewer).Important when you publish an NWD file, you cannot include any RPCs added to your scene.To add more models to an existing scene, you need to append model files.Note If you try to drag and drop files directly into the Selection Tree window or to use the Opendialog box, you will create a new Navisworks file instead.You can delete files appended to your Navisworks file.Note You cannot delete any files from a published NWD file.Autodesk Navisworks is a collaborative solution, and although users may be reviewing the model indifferent ways, their resultant files can be merged into a single Navisworks file, with any duplicategeometry and mark up automatically removed.When merging multiple NWF files that each comprise the same referenced files, AutodeskNavisworks only loads a single set of the combined models, along with all review mark up (such astags, viewpoints or comments) from each NWF file. Any duplicate geometry or markup is removedwhen merged.Application Menu6

3. Home RibbonHome RibbonProjectRefreshWhen working in Autodesk Navisworks, it is possible that others may be working on the CAD filesyou are currently reviewing. For example, if you are coordinating various disciplines on a project,then you may have an NWF file referencing numerous design files. During the iterative stages ofthe project, any member of the design team could potentially be modifying their CAD files.To ensure the data you are reviewing is current, Autodesk Navisworks provides a refresh functionto reopen the files that have been modified on the disk since commencing the review session.Reset All Appearences, Transforms, LinksIn Autodesk Navisworks, you can reset object attributes back to the values in the original CADfiles.File OptionsUse this dialog box to control the appearance of the model and the speed of navigation around it,and also to create and configure links to external databases.8
When you modify any of the options in this dialog box, your changes are saved in the currentlyopened Autodesk Navisworks file, and apply to this file only.Ribbon: Home panelProject tabFile OptionsSelect&SearchSelect, Select BoxThere are two selection tools (Select and Select Box) available from Home tab Select & Searchpanel to control the way you select geometry.Typically, using selection tools is mutually exclusive to using navigation tools (see ProductSpecific Navigation Tools, so that when you are selecting you cannot navigate and vice versa.Note When using a SpaceBall in conjunction with the standard mouse control, the SpaceBall can beconfigured for navigation and the mouse for selecting. See SpaceBall for more information.9
Selecting geometry in the Scene View automatically selects the corresponding objects in theSelection Tree.Holding the SHIFT key whilst selecting items in the Scene View cycles through the selectionresolution, allowing you to get more specific with your selections.You can use the Options Editor to customize the distance from an item you have to be for it to beselected (pick radius). This is useful when you select lines and points.Save SelectionThis command opens Selection Set dialog to create automatically Set of selected objects. You canre name new set after created it.Select All, Select None, Invert SelectionSelection commands enable you to quickly alter the current selection using logic. You can selectmultiple items based on the currently selected items’ properties, or quickly invert the set, selecteverything or nothing.Select SameSelection commands enable you to quickly alter the current selection using logic. You can selectmultiple items based on the currently selected items’ properties, or quickly invert the set, selecteverything or nothing.10
Selection TreeThe Selection Tree is a dockable window, which displays a variety of hierarchical views of thestructure of the model, as defined by the CAD application in which the model was created.Autodesk Navisworks uses this hierarchical structure to identify object-specific paths (from the filename down to a particular object).By default there are four tabs: Standard. Displays the default tree hierarchy, including all instancing. The contents of thistab can be sorted alphabetically.Compact. Displays a simplified version of the hierarchy on the Standard tab, omittingvarious items. You can customize the level of complexity of this tree in the Options Editor.Properties. Displays the hierarchy based on the items' properties. This enables simplemanual searching of the model by item property.Sets. Displays a list of selection and search sets. If no selection and search sets have beencreated, this tab is not shown.Note The list of the items on the Sets tab is exactly the same as the list on the Sets dockablewindow.Find ItemsFinding is a quick and powerful way of selecting items into the current selection based on items’properties.You can use the Find Items window to set up and run a search, which can then be saved and re-runin later sessions or shared with other users.You can also use Quick Find, which is a faster way of searching. It simply looks for the specifiedstring in all property names and values attached to items in the scene.11
Quick FindTo locate and select the objects quickly, use the Quick Find feature. (Ctrl F).SetsIn Autodesk Navisworks, you can create and use sets of like objects. This makes it easier to reviewand analyze your model.Selection SetsSelection sets are static groups of items, and are useful for saving a group of objects that you wantto regularly perform some action on, such as hiding them, changing transparency and so on. Theysimply store a group of items for later retrieval. There is no intelligence behind this set - if themodel changes at all, the same items are selected (assuming they are still available in the model)when recalling the selection set.Search SetsSearch sets are dynamic groups of items, and work in a similar way to selection sets, except thatthey save search criteria instead of the results of a selection, so that you can re-run the search at alater date as and when the model changes. Search sets are much more powerful and can save youtime, especially if your CAD files are continuing to be updated and revised. It is also possible toexport search sets, and share them with other users.12
Selection InspectorThe Selection Inspector is a dock able window, which displays a list of all the selected objects andthe Quick Properties associated with those objects.You can inspect a selection from the Selection Tree or Scene View. Alternatively, choose aSelection Set or a Search Set. You can then zoom the selection to display it within the model, ormodify it by deselecting objects and adding property definitions.When you save a selection it appears in the Selection Sets window. You can then rename yourselection set. See Sets Window for more details.All the objects that are visible within the Selection Inspector window may be exported into a CSVfile. You must deselect objects if you wish to exclude them from the exported file.VisibilityHideAutodesk Navisworks provides tools that can be used to hide and display objects or groups ofobjects. Hidden objects are not drawn in the Scene View.13
RequireAlthough Autodesk Navisworks intelligently prioritizes objects for culling in the scene, sometimesit drops out geometry that needs to remain visible while navigating.You can make sure the objectsare always rendered during interactive navigation by making them required.Hide UnselectedYou can hide all items except those currently sele
