Autodesk Navisworks - Online Training Course
Overview
This online training course introduces participants to Autodesk Navisworks - a leading BIM coordination and project review platform used to aggregate Revit and other design models into a single combined project. The program covers model aggregation and file types, navigation and viewpoints, sections and search sets, and the full suite of analysis tools including Clash Detective, TimeLiner, and Quantification.
The course is built around practical workshops that let participants consolidate multidisciplinary BIM models, detect and resolve clashes early, and plan construction sequencing in 4D.
What You Will Learn
BIM Fundamentals and Navisworks Concepts
Core concepts of Building Information Modeling and the role of Navisworks within a BIM-based workflow. Understanding the software's main file types (NWC, NWF, NWD) and how they fit into the design-to-construction process.
Model Aggregation and Assembly
Forming NWC models directly from Revit and combining them into unified NWF and NWD project files. Updating and synchronizing models as design changes occur, and navigating the Selection Tree to work with individual elements.
Navigation and Viewpoints
Configuring navigation and visualization settings to move through large combined models efficiently. Setting up viewpoint cameras, saving and grouping viewpoints, and exporting or importing them for use across the project team.
Sections, Annotations and Search Sets
Activating and adjusting section planes to inspect model interiors, working with the Review tab's markup tools, tags, and comments. Building reusable Search Sets based on element properties to organize and filter complex models.
Clash Detective, TimeLiner and Quantification
Running Clash Detective to identify and manage coordination conflicts between disciplines. Using TimeLiner to link the model to a construction schedule for 4D sequencing, and Quantification to extract take-off data directly from the model.
Animation, Scripting and Data Exchange
Creating animated walkthroughs with Animator and automating tasks with Scripter and Batch Utility. Configuring Appearance Profiler and the model database, then exporting coordinated models and review sheets to DWF and PDF formats.
Certificate of Completion - Issued by Autodesk
Upon successful completion of the course, participants receive an official Autodesk Certificate of Completion, confirming attendance at a course delivered by an Autodesk Authorized Training Center. The certificate records the course title, instructor, course date, and total course duration, providing a verifiable credential recognized across the industry.
