Overview

Please note: The print version of this guide is printed in black and white with images in grayscale. The Autodesk(R) Navisworks(R) 2025: Fundamentals guide shows you how to use the Autodesk Navisworks Manage software in a BIM workflow to better predict project outcomes, reduce conflicts, minimize changes, and lower project risks. The guide provides instructions on how to consolidate civil, architectural, structural, and MEP models into a single BIM model and check for conflicts. It also discusses how to use the Review and Markup tools to communicate issues across disciplines, the Quantification module to create estimates for building material, and the TimeLiner, Animator, and Clash Detective to simulate construction and to identify any constructibility issues and on-site clashes. Finally, it describes how to use the Rendering feature of the software to better communicate design intent to the project team and other stakeholders. This guide is designed for new and experienced users of the Autodesk Navisworks software in multiple disciplines. Topics Covered Understanding the purpose of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and how it is applied in the Autodesk Navisworks software Navigating the Autodesk Navisworks workspace and interface Consolidating models from different software and properly aligning them to create a single Navisworks model Saving and retrieving views and sectioning a model Using basic viewing and investigation tools to locate, review, and measure items Adding tags and comments to model components Reviewing a model for clashes Performing quantification calculations and material takeoffs Animating and writing scripts to interact with the model Creating and animating a construction timeline Creating photorealistic images Prerequisites Access to the 2025.0 version of the software, to ensure compatibility with this guide. Future software updates that are released by Autodesk may include changes that are not reflected in this guide. The practices and files included with this guide might not be compatible with prior versions (e.g., 2024). The 2025 Civil 3D Object Enabler must be installed on the computer running Navisworks. A working knowledge of 3D design and task-scheduling software is recommended.
