Navisworks Manage

Navisworks is used primarily in construction industries to complement 3D design packages (such as Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, and MicroStation) Navisworks allows users to open and combine 3D models, navigate around them in real-time and review the model using a set of tools including comments, redlining, viewpoint, and measurements. A selection of plug-ins enhances the package adding interference detection, 4D time simulation, photorealistic rendering and PDF-like publishing.

Point Clouds in Navisworks

Before a point cloud can be used in Navisworks, the scan file from which it was derived must first be indexed. This is accomplished using the Autodesk ReCap. After indexing the file in Autodesk ReCap, use the Attach command to place the point cloud in the Navisworks graphics window.

Autodesk Collections

Navisworks Manage is also included in Autrodesk AEC Collection and Autodesk PD&M Collection.
