New Features of Navisworks 2013 _ v\u00eda: All Things BIM<\/a>
Whilst David Light has cornered the market on \u2018what\u2019s new in Revit,\u2019 I figured I\u2019d take a moment to summarize some of the new features in Navisworks \u2013 one of my other favorite applications. There are quite a few enhancements for handling Revit models this year and I\u2019m pretty excited about the changes.<\/p>\n

OPEN RVT FILES DIRECTLY<\/p>\n

Yes, you heard that correctly. You can now merge RVT files directly from Navisworks without pre-exporting an NWC file from within Revit. This will probably be a true delight for builders who may no longer need an installation of Revit just to get the model data into Navisworks. Model components from a Revit model are now organized in the Selection Tree according to category, family, type, and instance.<\/p>\n

CAVEAT: This functionality will open the RVT file and will look for a 3D view for which the name contains \u201cNavis.\u201d If one is found, it will load the data that is visible in that view.<\/p>\n

GRID AND LEVEL SUPPORT<\/p>\n

In the 3D coordination process, it\u2019s usually quite difficult to determine your location when you are automatically zoomed to a clash condition. David Kingham first posted a workaround to create 3D grid objects, but now it has made its way into the core software. (As an aside, please visit David\u2019s new professional photography website\u2026very impressive work!)<\/p>\n

Lee Mullin wrote a great summary of this new feature over on the Beyond Design blog, including a video.<\/p>\n

CLASH DETECTION ENHANCEMENTS<\/p>\n

One of the first things you\u2019ll notice in Navisworks 2013 is that a new interface for Clash Detective has been created. This new UI makes it easier to discover and organize clashes. Because the grids and levels are now included from Revit, you can group and filter clashes according to grid and\/or level location. You\u2019ll need to right-click on the row headers and select Choose Columns as shown below. Note that these options won\u2019t be available for older projects without the supporting information.<\/p>\n\n\n

TIMELINER ENHANCEMENTS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Money\u2026that\u2019s what I want\u2026 You can now add cost data to your Timeliner simulation to better understand accumulated costs anywhere in the construction process. Objects and selection sets can be dragged and dropped into Timeliner to easily create associations between the model and schedule tasks. Timeliner simulations can be exported to ProjectXML to support interoperability with Primavera and Microsoft Project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IMPROVED FILE INTEROPERABILITY<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navisworks 2013 now supports CATIA and Solidworks files from Dassault Sytemes, ArchiCAD 14 and 15 files, Siemens NX PLM software, and point clouds from Faro 4.8. Timeliner can also now connect to Oracle Primavera P6 v8, Asta Powerproject 12 and Microsoft Project 2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a little bonus footage, check out this demo video from SMART Technologies<\/a> about how you can now use a SMART board monitor overlay with Navisworks for team model review:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
