Welcome to Our Navisworks for Beginners Course

We are excited that You are interested in learning more about reviewing design and construction models using Navisworks. During this course, we will show you how to easily navigate 3D models, find design issues or potential construction problems, how to share your findings with others and other useful tips and tricks in Navisworks.

By the end of this course You will

  • be able to review federated 3D models
  • quickly identify design problems and raise potential construction issues
  • be more confident in using 3D models in discussions or meetings
  • know how to find and check data or information in the models
  • be familiar with the tools and the primary features in Navisworks

BIM Managers and BIM Coordinators can use Navisworks to improve design coordination.

  • Combine design and construction data into a single federated model.
  • Identify and resolve clash and interference problems before construction.
  • Aggregate data from multiple trades to better control outcomes.

To get started You will need …
