Course Overview


Navisworks is a powerful software tool used in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry to integrate multiple 3D models into one united model for streamlined collaboration. This software allows designers and construction professionals to detect potential clashes and errors before the actual construction begins, saving time and money. The Navisworks course helps professionals learn how to use this software effectively, including tasks such as integrating 3D models, creating walkthroughs, performing clash detection, and generating reports. Navisworks also supports files created in various file formats, such as AutoCAD, Revit, and SketchUp. Upon completion of the Navisworks course, participants are equipped with essential skills and techniques required to develop their own models, conduct complex simulations, and collaborate effectively with project stakeholders.
