Navisworks Manage — BIM Coordination Course

BIM coordination concepts; role of Navisworks Manage; coordination lifecycle; federated models; project review workflow; practical expectations of a BIM Coordinator.

Ribbon/interface; navigation; selection tools; Scene View; Properties; units; options; workspace setup; project folder structure.

Working with common coordination files; Append vs Merge; NWC/NWF/NWD concepts; source model links; update/reload workflow.

Combine Architecture, Structure, HVAC/Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing and Fire models; verify coordinates, orientation, levels and model completeness.

Understand hierarchy; search and navigate model objects; isolate disciplines and systems; inspect geometry and model structure.

Review object properties and metadata; compare elements; identify system/category information; use properties during clash investigation.

Create professional viewpoints; save/recall views; camera navigation; object visibility; appearance overrides; viewpoint-based review.

Section planes/boxes; inspect congested areas; isolate zones; investigate hidden intersections; create review-ready coordination views.

Color/appearance overrides; transparency; hidden/required elements; discipline-based visual organization; clear presentation for coordination meetings.

Create named sets for disciplines, zones and systems; organize reusable selections; update sets as the model changes.

Create rule-based searches using properties; build repeatable discipline/system selections; use sets to standardize clash tests.

Prepare an A-B coordination matrix; define which systems must be checked; establish test naming, tolerance strategy and review frequency.

Set up tests; choose Selection A/B; understand clash types and tolerance; run tests; inspect results; save test definitions.

Hard, clearance, soft and time-based concepts; test selection; tolerance; rules; reducing unwanted results; disciplined test naming and batching.

Zoom to clash; inspect both objects; review item properties; classify status; group related clashes; capture viewpoints; prepare issue information.

Configure report content; filter/group results; export reports; organize snapshots and viewpoints; maintain revision-wise coordination records.

Prepare the meeting model; issue list; viewpoints; discipline-wise discussion; assign actions; track responses; maintain meeting-ready documentation.

Reload updated models; rerun standardized tests; compare issue status; confirm resolved items; close the coordination cycle.

Import/prepare schedule data; create tasks; attach model geometry; configure task types; synchronize schedule information.

Link tasks to model objects; run the simulation; review the planned construction sequence; identify sequence/space conflicts; present 4D output.

Camera and object animation concepts; movement/sequence visualization; connect animation with TimeLiner where applicable; use simulation for planning review.

Create a takeoff structure; measure quantities; count components; review model-based quantities; organize basic takeoff outputs.

Architecture + Structure + MEP federation; clash matrix; major coordination tests; issue grouping; reports; re-test; final coordination package.

High-density MEP coordination; equipment/ceiling/service-space review; systematic clash tests; issue documentation; coordination presentation.

Federated model, clash detection, resolution workflow, final reports, TimeLiner 4D simulation, quantification, portfolio documentation and interview presentation.
