The End of Navisworks?! (3D Coordination in the Cloud) - Episode 84

 

3D Coordination (also known as MEP Coordination or Clash Detection) is one of those things that is vital to the success of a BIM project... Did you know that it can all be done in the cloud now?!  No more playing "FTP jockey" and uploading, downloading, and verifying your data is up to date...  Could this be the end of Navisworks?!

In last night's episode of BIM After Dark Live I talked about how you can take advantage of using Autodesk Model Coordinate and more efficiently coordinate your models with your consultants, sub-contractors, and more...

Topics we covered were:

- The advantages of Revit Cloud Workshared Models on ACC / BIM 360

- Taking advantage of "views".

- Understanding the "Clash Matrix"

- Filtering Views, reviewing clashes, and navigating the viewer...

- And more....

"3D Coordination" Explained (Revit + Navisworks) Replay w/Sample Files

 

I wasn't sure what I was expecting going into this episode of BIM After Dark Live.  I know its an area of BIM that a lot of people aren't very familiar with, or if they are, it's an area of mass frustration.  Either way, the topic of 3D coordination with Revit and Navisworks was a huge hit.  Over 200 of you joined me live and there were tons of great questions that guided the conversation.

Some of the topics we covered were:

- An Overview of the 3D Coordination Process (w/a sweet diagram, see below)

- How design teams can help improve the process

- How to export from Revit to Navisworks

- The only tools you need to know in Navisworks (for coordination)

- Running Clash Detection in Navisworks

- Ways to communicate issues with team members

- and more...
