1. BIM Review with Navisworks 2022 - Course Introduction: Hello everyone. This is Introduction to
Navisworks manage 2022 training. Let's start with a
brief profile on the China initial Irma. I did B Tech in mechanical engineering and
MBA in project management. I have more than 12.5 years of experience in detailed
design and engineering, project management, and particularly
BIM deployment and implementation and
information management. I've worked on many iconic
projects across the world, like Riyadh Metro,
Dhaka Metro, HSV-2, Neo, more nitrogen project and more than 50 projects
of small and medium-sized. Been actively engaged in my organizations for
training and development. Let's come directly to Autodesk
Navisworks manage 2022. This goes is highly
recommended for site construction team like
construction managers, supervisors, coordinators,
design development team. For example, architects,
engineers, project managers, be management team, which includes managers,
BIM coordinators, women engineers, project owners and their representatives
like Jenkins, certain project
management consultants and definitely for spreading
been professionals. Last but not the least, engineering and construction
management is students. Part fun of this. Navisworks manage
20 to introduce CDS contains introduction
to Navisworks, which includes what is
Navisworks and its benefit, system requirements and how
to download free trial. What are the various
versions of Navisworks? How can we export Revit
files to Navisworks? Inverter various file
types of nervous works. By two of the CDS contains navigation
inside the Navisworks. What are the basic
navigation options that are available
inside Navisworks? Navigation and walking around the model section
boxes and their use, basic navigation and control
for modelled review. Three of these tutorial
contains markup and viewpoints, measurements in service,
creating mock-ups. Creation of viewpoints and
organization of viewpoints. Part four contains doing and
playing with moral elements. It includes selection of
objects and elements, or overriding element properties
like height and height, move and other basic options. View properties and
the parameters. Part five contains sorting and grouping of elements
like finding elements, selection sets,
selection inspectors. They are basic options
importing and exporting upsets. Part six of the series
contains clash detection, generation of flesh report, various parameters that we have to set while
generating a glacier for understanding the art
part of a clash reports, grouping of flushing and
assigning responsibilities and exploiting chapeau
to various formats. Part seven isn't
entering an animation. How we set up
epipedons profiling. How can we create good renders, creating animations, creating walkthroughs, and
exploiting walkthroughs. Part eight contains
quantification, which includes setting up of Navisworks for
quantity takeoff, quantification, set, setup
and grouping do's and don'ts. Quantity takeoff and export. Part nine contains 40
simulation n time liner. In this chapter, we
will learn creating and adding task for the
simulation settings, do's and don'ts, and
exporting the time lender. By the end of this course, you will be able to manage 3D models and enable
an effective review. You will be able to perform
clash detection test to check integrity and
interface of the design. You will be able to
obtain quantity, takeoff, creating
walkthroughs and simulate in a 4D environment. Thanks a lot for your time. Have a great day
ahead. Thank you.
2. 1. Introduction to Autodesk Navisworks manage 2022: Hello everyone. This is Navisworks
manage 2022 training. This training is
highly recommended for site construction team, which includes
construction managers, supervisors, coordinators. Is any development
team like architects, engineers, project
managers, management team, which includes BIM managers, BIM coordinators,
women engineers, project owners and their
representatives like general consultants, project
management consultants. For the people who are aspiring
to become professionals. Of course, engineering and construction management
is students. This is part one of complete Navisworks
minus 2022 training. This part includes what is
Navisworks and its benefits? What are the system
requirements and how we can download
the free trial. What are the various
versions of Navisworks? And how we export the most popular files
into navies formats. What is Navisworks
Export utility? Inverter, Navisworks
various file types. Let's start. Let's start with what
exactly is this Navisworks? Notice folks is a software by the company called Autodesk, which helps us in doing
the solution for design. And get it gives
construction management professionals a
powerful insight. Predictability. To
improve their design, their productivity,
project quality. We can review that
3D design data, both in terms of geometry and the information it contains. It is regardless of
involved format, involved native file, the
design where generated. The best feature of
Navisworks Manage is that automated question
class detection, which also generates a
high-quality of clash reports. And the process. We can also track the crash. In Navisworks manage. We can also generate 40 simulation and very good visualization
then does images. Quantification of the complete
project is also possible? And the best part is your anti 3D project
or a 3D model can be viewed freely in NWA
and other formats like 3D DWR formats. What are the benefits
of using Navisworks? Manage what other
similar programs? Navisworks files are completely independent files in terms of NWC and WWF and then WD that are very small as
compared to the native files. It is, is very easy
to to view them, to navigate through
them, to store them. It's free. Yes. The use of nervous flux freedom, which is you can say
the most basic version of there is a complete
package is free. This free version. You also have the facility to
review the model. There are some basic free
features which you can use. While farming class
tech. Detection helps the design team dissolve the clashes and
coordination issues early in the design phase. Therefore, it saves
a lot of time and money on the construction sites. As I said, that
Navisworks files are quite lower in size as
compared to the native files. Heavy models can
be analyzed as at a very easy and faster
pace as compared to the Newick file
formats like Revit. We can quickly do a
section simulations, animations, walk through,
quantifications. Very good features are there. And the best part of
Autodesk Navisworks is it supports a
very large number of file formats that can be easily imported and converted
into a nervous format. So next questions comes to
our mind is that part of the file formats that are supported by
Autodesk Navisworks. So as you can see on the screen, almost any kind of format can be important
into Navisworks. Beat the Navisworks
native file format. Or to get my transition
by the band lays. 3d Studio is CIA's CA is dw, f IFC is Inventor. Sketchup. If I put it in general terms, almost all file format can be easily imported and converted
to nervous flex format. So if you want to install
nervous for senior system, then Vd should be the ideal
configuration of your system. As you can see, not
very intensive software that will require a very large system in terms
of processing capabilities, in terms of RAM,
in terms of GPU. So even a basic laptop or a basic system can be used
to install Navisworks. As recommended by the Autodesk. The requirements for the
installation of Navisworks are the operating system should
be Microsoft Windows ten. Cpu should be minimum, Intel Pentium four, which blocks the speed
of three gigahertz. Them should we do GB minimum? This is scales, should be 15 GB minimum for
the installation. Graphic cards, the
basic one display, the general display
that you are having. Tonality by 800, Microsoft interval mouse and a Microsoft Internet Explorer. As you can see, these are the basic requirements
that are coming today in any luck up on desktop. So you don't have to
ready to purchase a very high-end system
to install Navisworks. Let's talk about the
free Navisworks. Autodesk gives you 30 days
of free trial to test it. And if you like it, you can
further by subscription. This is the link to
install a free trial. The good thing is that
free trial also have the same facility and same options that the main
subscription option has. So the Navy's first free trial can be downloaded from
this Autodesk website. Autodesk dot in slash products slash Navisworks slash free day. I will highly request
all of us that are going through this course to
download this free trial. Do a parallel practice as it has been taught
in this course. That will cement your learning and it will make your
understanding more clear. In the market. In Navisworks is available
in three packages. Fastest Navisworks
manage that I'm using for the
presentation purpose, and then I will
demonstrate shortly. Second is Navisworks simulate, which is a bit trim non-Western
of Navisworks Manage. Third isn't obvious
facts freedom, which is a free viewer. The next question that
comes to our mind is, what is the difference
between all three? I have made a comparison table, which will make it very clear what features are there,
in which version. So I've categorized
basic features of maybe works into
six main categories. Like model viewing
and navigation. The timeline,
quantification, rendering, animation, and clash detection. You can see here in Navisworks manage all these
features are present. If we come to nervous
for assimilate. All the features except glass
detections are present. If we talk about freedom, then of course,
since it is free, only model viewing
and navigation inside the model is allowed and rest of the features
are not available. So naturally, question comes to our mind that as a person, which was enough
Navisworks should I use? Just to help you out, I'll give you a suggestion that if you add from a courtroom
team like BIM Manager, bim coordinator,
women engineers, who are directly involved
very much into the 3D models. Then you should go for
Navisworks Manage. If you are a person in a project that only
reviews a project only, only at a very broadly, we'll let say
third-party consultant, maybe a project owner, maybe high-level
project manager. Then probably
Navisworks freedom will also work for you because you are only going to
review the model, view the model,
and nothing else. For the persons who are between the broad level review
and that closed review. Those who are not
supposed to do. Clash detection can
also opt for Navisworks simulate. To submit them. Navisworks freedom is
just a few basic facility of model building
and navigation. Never saw accumulate has all the features except
class detection. While Navy's first manage is a full-fledged version which have all the features
of Navisworks. So next main thing to learn is how we can convert
our native Revit files. Navisworks. There are two options for this. And I will take you to the actual private interface to make it understand better. I have pre-opened plenty
2022 sample file. I'll show you how we can convert our export
these Revit files to the Navisworks
format. Option one. Let's go to File Export. Inside X4 will find
an option NWC, and you do it the other way. The second option
lies in adding. Then you will do external tools. Inside an external tools, you will find two options. Navisworks 2022, which is negative
substrate or inhumane age. And the second option is
Navisworks switch vector 2022. As often now, we will discuss only about Navisworks
manage 2022. But just to give you an idea, what does switch back is. So switchback is an integration between live rabbit model
and Navisworks model. You can anytime switch
from neighbors flux to rabbit, vice versa. Okay, So let's start exporting. I go to File Export NWC. I'll select apart. We're going to save
this exploited NWC. If you notice. When you are
exporting your Revit file for the first time, you only have one file, standard NWC, which is the
Navisworks sketchy moment. Below it. You have nice work settings tab, if you click on it. We'll get various basic options of converting rabid
to Navisworks. I'll explain some of
the key features here. Like convert linked file. If in your average
model there are other linked, one or less well, and if you want to convert
them, just check it. If not, keep it unchecked. Then that average users must be aware that the basic
two coordinates system, the incidence rate,
shared an internal. If you want to export your
project on shared coordinates, select shared if you want to export your project on
internal coordinates. And select internal. Next is X4. If you wanted to export your entire project,
select the project. If you want to export only the current view which is being seen, select Current View. Or if you want to export
a selected portion only, then first select that portion
n, choose this option. As of now, I wanted to
export my entire project. So I select the entire project. Then it will start exporting. As we discussed, that
every interface, the option one, go
to File Export. And then you can export the file to with the
help of NWC option. The option two is to
go into the Add-in, Excel tools and Navisworks 2022. As I mentioned earlier, the switchback
enables you to select an object into
Autodesk Navisworks, and then locate and zoom into the same object
in their native every file. Just in case. You have just downloaded
from the Autodesk website. And you are unable to
find those two options, like in the File Export tab, you are unable to see NWC as well as in the
external tool labs. You are unable to see
Export now is 2022. How we can solve it? In a cooperative scenario. This problem will be
delayed by your IT team. But just in case if you're an individual user and you
encounter this problem, then the solution lies
in the next slide. So just in case if
you're not finding any option in your
record interface to export Navisworks format. Then you have to
download and install Navisworks NWC Export utility. We add, you can find it. Just go to aqueducts, the dot products,
Navisworks 3D viewer. You will end up in this page. It will give you the Navisworks NWC File
Export utilities. Depending on your license. Whatever you are using. Suppose m using 2022. Just download this no
sucks exported 2022 dot EXE file install. It. Makes sure Valley installing your
Revit is turned off. Then if you start rivaled again, you'll find both options of
exporting files into nervous. Again, as I showed you a while exporting from varied format. There are various options we triggering key while exploiting. The important ones are
convert linked file, what coordinate system
you want to use, and whether if you
want to export and that project or
only a part of it. Now comes a bit difficult
and tricky part about the Navisworks. I will make sure to make
you understand in most easily basically that three
Navisworks file formats, fastest NWC file format, which is also bycatch files. As you've seen while
exporting nervous from Revit, this is a default format. When you're exporting debit. For the first time. This is the only format
that is available. Dot and WC file
extension is dot NWC. Then the next format is NW
D5 and WWF file format. Elf file format contains the
link to originality files. It is used for review, mockup, and clash coordination. Please note that no
modern geometric is saved in this file format. It makes end up with
considerable very low insights. The next is end up Rudy format. In an end of 3D format, it contains
everything, the model, geometry, the moral information, all clubbed in a single file. Although the size of n WD is
obviously more than n WWF, but still it is considerably, very less as compared to
the native rabbit files. To give you more
understanding on this, Let's go to the Navy's understand what exactly all these three files I'll mix up. Again. I will quickly demonstrate how we are going to
export our EBIT model. So just go to File, export your file, the
desired filename. So Patrick chain structure, I have already exported. So this is mechanical file. So let's give simple
mechanical project. Check your Navisworks
settings are correct. Okay. Save. Depending on size
of your project. It will take some time. But generally, it is being exported within two
to three minutes. So while it is exporting, Let's go to our folder. All these files are saved. I've exported files for the same project when
it's for architecture, when it's for mechanical
and one is for structure. And if you can see, the default format
that is exported from rabbit is Navisworks
sketchy the NWC file. From where other formats are coming. Let's go and find out. Let us start an average folks. I just click on Navisworks
minus 2022 icon. This is how the interface of Autodesk Navisworks
minus 2022 looks like as we objects exported three neighbors
files from the rabbit. So let's open them. Go to Navisworks
application button. Open, open an existing project, or to the files
where I've saved it. Let's stop networks, tutorial, export and nervous fail. If you see you can't
find any item. Why? Because if you will
seem that file type, it is showing NOW D. As I've
told you that by default, from debit you can export
only end up Lucy format. So either you can
select NWC from here are the better option
is Select All files. Now, all the file
types are visible. And let's select our
architectural project first and open it. You can see our architectural projects now being opened
in the Navisworks. What I do, this same file. I tried to append means ed. My structural model. Again append my
mechanical model. You can see now it's
structural architecture. Mechanical. All disciplines are in a single Navisworks file. You can view, rotate, can do many options, many things in this Navisworks, which we'll discuss later
in upcoming chapters. Now, I hope you are clear
with the NWC formats. That is the default Navisworks
sketchy format that is formed while we are
exporting file from rabid. Now, when you will try
to save this file, I say it funded model, which is having all the
files and save as type. If I go to various options, you can see it is giving
me options of n w, d, and n WWF based on various versions
like 20152016 to 2022. I save it as NWA. Click on Save. Now I'll go to the folder where
it is being saved. Edited file is being created with the size
of just four KB. If you will check the size of NWC is file that would
export it from rabbit. The architectural
size is six MB. Mechanical is around four MB out structures that
are on 57 MBB. But the funded, which has all these things
is just four KB. How is it possible
to explain this? Let's go back to our slides. So as I explained you, the NWC, which is the default export, contains all the geometry
and information. File. The end WAF file
just has the links. It has nothing of their own. Only the files linked, you can say as a reference
to end up OF file. While it doesn't have
anything of its own. To clear you this thing, Let's go back to next slide and understand this with
reference to an AutoCad file. Suppose the files we exploded
like architectural NWC, structure and WC and MAP NWC. These are the individual NWC that have been
exported from rabid. What happens in an end WWF, all these three files are linked as a reference
into a blank file. Next phi, you remember the
file size of endolymph is just for Kb because it doesn't
contain any model, any information in it. Only the files it has are being attached to
it as a reference. Now, what happens if the image, all the data of all
these three files architecture is structured
MEP into this file. Now, this file contains every model information,
every model graphics. Then it becomes an
federated model, which is called N W D. Just to make clear that most
of the times for n WWF, many people are using
the term fair edited, which is probably not correct. That right word for n, WWF is integrated model. Why we are calling
it integrated? Because all that reference
models are integrated into it while it is itself
being blank file. When all the models, all the geometry online
information must into it. Then the Navy's fog is now the
owner of all the elements, all the information,
all the models. Then it turns into a federated model that
ended up your default made. This NW D will be much higher in size as compared to n w f, y. Simply because n WWF
is like a blank file. While the end WD has all the model elements in information which were
previously in the NWC. Let's see it practically. Go back to our Navisworks file. As of now, if you can see, we have saved it as a
federated dot n WWF fight. Now, let's try to save it as WD. What I do, I save it
as credited File. And choose the file
format as N W, D, and click on Save. Now all the modeling, geometry and information are
must into that blank file. And these all things now
become part of that file. Now let's go and check this. Export it and I
will spark folder. This is the federated file and WD, the Navisworks document. And now you can see the
file size is 55 MB. And this 55 MB contains
all these three files. Now, I would like to show you the difference in the
internal organization of an end WWF file
and the end WD file. If you go to the
browser organization or the selection tree as we
call it in Navisworks. For our NWA file, you will see there
are three files, three individual file that just linked as a reference
into an end WWF. I go to an end WD file, which is affiliated file. It will go to the selection
tree of an end WD file. You will find that all
these T Navisworks are now must into a is
folks Federated file. Now every element meet
architecture is structured, MAP is now a part of
this edited file. I have seen that this
is one of the doubt, prominent doubt regarding
the Navisworks format then many people are having. I hope it is clear by now. Just to explain it quickly. The Navisworks sketchy
and a blue see are the default file formats that
are exported from Revit. If we merge all these
into a blank file. However, this blank file doesn't contain anything of its own. It is just referencing
all these three files. Then it becomes Navisworks file set that is also called NWA. You can see the
file size is very minimal because it
doesn't contain anything. Further. If fi much all these
content into a single file, then it becomes
Navisworks credited file. And it has all the data, all the information, all the graphics network
contained in all these three. So I hope now the various movies flags file format are
very clear to you. What is the difference
between NWC is an integrated model
which is n, w f, and a federated model
which is dot and W D. Thank you very
much for your time. Have a great day
ahead. Thank you.
3. 2. Let's Navigate inside Navisworks: Hello everyone. Here we are with a Navisworks
training presentation. Part two is a training
for Navisworks manage 2022 is entered
by me and he said Mom. The contents of this part two. Let's navigate inside
the Navisworks. In this chapter, we are going to learn basic navigation options, navigations, and walking
around the model. Basic navigation and
control for modal review. Section boxes and their uses. So this is how the interface of Navisworks 2022 looks like. In the top left, you will find application
button and menu. You will find all the basic
options like open save. Closed Save As this is
Quick Access Toolbar. Because all the
quick access tools like save, print, save. You can find it here.
Number T is Info Center, where you will
find the widget ID you have logged in and
basic information. For is the ribbon. You can see the main toolbar where you will find all
the relevant tools. Five is a scene area. Vaso mean 3D model lies. Number six. The navigation tools like
Ben, zoom-in, zoom-out, rotate or seven, either
Dr. Bill window. Window. We can move here in the air as per our
requirement as an S for our needs
is the status bar. So let us quickly go
to the actual levees works to show you
these things there. So as we were discussing, this is point number one
Application Menu button by where you will find
the basic options like open save, save as export. This is Quick Access Toolbar. In this quick access to while, you will find basic options
again quickly like Save, Open, Save As this
is Info Center. This is called Ribbon, where all your tools male EPM. Once you will click each step, then all the related tools
will appear in the ribbon. This part is your
main scene view where you will see
your 3D model. This is called navigation tools. These are the tools like Ben, zoom in, zoom out, all bait, look around, walk in, fly and select tools. These are Docker build Windows. So what does this
document window means? This document window
means that we can place wherever we
like to place them. This and the last
is the status bar. Okay, The next question
that comes to mind is, what will be that
ideal scenario? How should we place
various properties there? If you've been working and
efficient manual work. I'll give you a hint that
venue will click View. Already peed on
adversities in analysis works as you use
some of them here. Suppose I go to standard. You can say there are minimum or section and the main
bargain use highlighted. Let's try again based
on another view. This is minimum, usually
only minimal properties. So many months I had added here. The main focus is on 3D model. But I will suggest
you to always use, I always use of a space that is Coordinators
works standard. You see in that resource, you will find all the little
steps already open for you. For example, you will find, you will find a small window
of applying new properties. You will find here. You
will also find viewpoints. I always prefer to work in Navisworks standard
view. Show you. Let's go to View
node versus space. Although you can customize
the other space requirement. But I always find this
notice first estimated you best suited for
all your needs. Let's go back to
our slides again. Next we're going to learn
is what is VQ invited. The options that are
available inside a navigation bar indicates that a current orientation and its ceiling is also where
you're going to notate. More than like a god. In the navigation bar. You'll find few
tools like pen tool, where you can select the model and pen it. You can move it. Zoom tool, where you can
do zoom in and zoom out. Orbit tool, where you can set the center or the orbit or the pivot point around
which your model will move. Then there's a look around tool. You can rotate that right view vertically
or horizontally. Then, then there's
walk fly tool, which helps you to walk
inside analysis model. The last tool, let's select
tool where you can select the geometry of various elements and get the details
of those elements. Again, let's go into the
live nervous modeling. First thing first,
this is Home tab. Whenever you click it, your model will be reoriented
to the default view. For example, let's say I disturb the model orientation
and I click on Home tab. And typically it will be
set up to an orientation. This is the default one, or I will say how you
have exported it from the native rabbit or any
natives of your file. Now, this is the view cube. If I click on top, it will show me the top view. If I want to see my model from the south side,
just click on it. It is showing me the front view. I can see the left view. I can see the front view, right view of you in whichever
equation I want to see. Here. If you see, I can steer it as
well like a car. Again, if I want to go
to my default position, just click on home. It will be again oriented
to the default position. These are the basic
tools which are quite helpful to see how model. If you want to see from top, if you wanted to
see from friend, if you want to see, let's say from the bottom, these tools will help
you to quickly go to that plan section plan,
friend, right-left view. Now, let's check out
the navigation bar. In the navigation bar, the first thing that
we see is a navigation v. If you click on
the navigation B, will find various
options like basic view, basic to Full Navigation v. Let's click on full
navigation wheel. You see there are
various options like pain or bait center, walk, their minds Zoom. Although all these options
you'll find here as well, Let's quickly go the head and find out what each
option does for you. This is called Pen tool. If you click on Pen, now, if you click left
side of your mouse, you can move your model
with the help of Pen tool. And start it again.
Just click on Pen. Click the left side
of your mouse, and then you can take your
model wherever you want. Second tool is Zoom window. The Zoom window also, there are various options
like zoom selected, zoom all. So just click on zoom window. So you can see the
pen tool is still there just in case the previous
tool is not de-selected. Then just go to Select. Then you can go to Zoom window. Now you can see the Zoom window
I can has been activated. Suppose if I want to see this
rooftop unit by zooming, then just make a
rectangle above it. And then you can see, suppose
I again want to zoom, this is small part c.
If I again want to zoom this part C, and these keep in mind, then whenever you assuming this. Is small plus sign in the center shows that this will be
the center of our Zoom. I again go back to my default
position by clicking Home. This tool is the orbit tool. To use RB tool. First, let us select an element, let's say this element,
then select orbit. That means now my
model will rotate around that pivot point
that you have selected. You can see next thing that line is, look around. Look around is quite
similar to rotate tool. You can rotate up,
down, up, down. Like this. Next is VOC tool is very similar
to how we are walking. Inside them are,
let's see, like this. Now we have started walking. Again, I come back. So to use any of these
navigation tool, just select that tool. Click left side of your mouse. Keep it pressed. Just go wherever you want to go. Here, you will find
a flight level. Flight is just a bit faster
than a normal warp tool. Then the last and very
useful rule is select tool. If I click on this, select that it
selects the element. After selecting the lumen, we will find all its
related properties like which is a bad model, on which level it
is built matter the various properties like this. This is how you use all
the available options. Inside the navigation bar. Let's go next. The ASAM
shortcuts as well. For navigation page,
you're going to do just with the
help of your mouse. If you wanted to zoom in, just scroll wheel on
your mouse forward. If you wanted to zoom out, scroll them R-squared and
mouse wheel backward. If you've wanted to Ben, just hold the middle
mouse button, and then it will activate Ben. For activity in orbit. Just hold the Shift key
and middle mouse button. Then you can orbit
around the model. If you wanted to change
the pivot point. Then these red shift press Control and middle mouse button, you can change the pivot point. Let us see it in
the Navy's folks. Now, if I just
wanted to zoom in, what I'm doing, I'm just scrolling middle
mouse button forward. And you can see it's zooming in. Similarly, if I
want to zoom out, I'm scrolling my middle bar squared then in the
backward direction. It's easy, isn't it? Sometimes you don't
even have to go to the navigation bar to activate all your
navigation command. Most of the things you can
do easily with the help of your mouse and some keys
inside your keyboard. We just discuss. If I rotate the Marshfield in the forward direction,
it is zoom in. If I move it in the
backward direction, it is. Zoom out. Again. If I want
to use pen tool, either I can go to the navigation
bar and click it here. Simply. I can pressing the button of the mouse and the Pen tool
will be activated. Then we have our
I move my mouse, my model will move
with it. Then. The next shortcut is orbit tool. What I do, although I can use
it from the navigation bar. Or alternatively, I select an
element inside the smarter. I press Shift key
on my keyboard, and then I put the
middle mouse button, and then my orbital
is activated. Similarly, if I press Shift Control and
middle mouse button, then I can set my pivot point. You can see if I wanted to
relocate my pivot point, then the shortcut is Shift plus Control Plus
middle mouse button. I can move the pivot
point wherever I want. In continuation, lets
check one more thing. That is the realism, which is under the viewpoint.
So let's check it out. What is it? If I check on third person, then you can see imaginary
person appears in the scene. This will give you
a brief feeling of how you're walking
around inside the model. When you will navigate
inside the Navisworks, the person will behave
in the same way. First check word. This gravity does so
to understand it. Let's move on and do the stairs without
clicking on the gravity. Now you can see it's not
climbing up the stairs. So if you want to have a good feel of how this person
will move upon the stairs, then you have to turn
on the gravity options. When you click on
gravity, by default, the collision will be clicked because it works with police. And now let's try
how it behaves. Now. We can see it is climbing
onto the stairs. Now let's see how it behaves when the
collision is turned off. Now you can see it can
penetrate through an evolves. It can go inside rooms, it can go inside flows. Now again, let us see the same thing when we
turn on the realism. When we turn on the collision. And then we try to walk
through this fall, then it will not
allow it to do so. Now let us see how this college functions work
inside the realism. So I've turned on the
CloudWatch and I tried to move below this staircase so you see wherever they will not be
any submission min-height, the person band of Crouch. I show this again. Whenever they will not be enough min-height, then the person will crouch. Okay, so now let's move forward. Heavy come to one of the most important part of the navigation that is
called detection box. In section box, we
have two options, planes and the box. Again, let's go to
that average model. Who understand it clearly? Severe here in Santa
Ana average flux model. And now we learn how
to use section boxes. Click on the second
option, viewpoint. And inside viewpoint, you will find animal sectioning.
Just click on it. Then you will find two
options, planes and boxes. First, explore what the plain
sectioning is all among. Click on planes. If nothing IPS,
just click on Move. Now you see a plane FPS. Now we'll see how we can cut our model with
the help of a plane. As you can see, this
plane is oriented in z direction, y direction. Now, there are various options. Next we can do with this. I can rotate this plane, I can move this place. I can fit it to selection. Now, let's try to
move this plane. You can see now, whenever my plane
intersects my building, it cuts a section along it. Give you more insight. Let's check it out. Part of the various options that are available inside the plane. So once we are in a plane, more than six planes, then we can activate. So we get, we have already
activated plane one. Now. There are various
alignment options that are available like top, bottom, front,
back, left, right. So let's select top. Now, you can see this plane is cutting my
building from the top. I'll give you an example where we can use
this plane from top. Let us say it is a
three-story building. And I wanted to review only
first floor or Granville. So what I'll do, I said my plane in
the top alignment and Alice scroll this
wherever I want to go. Now you see I've
set my plane such that now I can see
only the ground floor. Again. Suppose you
are on the top of a building and you just
want to see this ground floor. I'll set my plane
to the top and I'll keep moving my plane delay
at each my desired level. Now you can see I'm pleased
to my ground floor. I can review it. I can rotate, bend, Zoom, metallic wire
I wanted to do. I can go to any area. I can review it, how it looks like. Suppose I'm done now on to
move forward or move avert. Who just select this plane
and go a little, avoid. It will evolve. Little world. See. Now you can see the HVAC services inside the
false ceiling area. Again. I move on for now. I'm on the first floor. Similarly, if I go up now, I'm on the second floor. If I find that go up to
the top of the building. Let's again quickly
review by changing the plane alignment
from top to friend. You see, I can review my
building from the front. If I move my plane. You see now the building
is being current. In the French view. In displacement as well. You can zoom tiny part. You can zoom out. You can rotate, you can pan. You can do whatever
you want to do. Now again, if I come back
to my original equation, you can see we can
align our plane. Very similar options like
top, bottom, left, right. Mike, my personal favorite is aligned to surface.
I'll show how. Suppose I wanted to align
my plane to this door. Then I have various options like I can select whichever
is the suiting, replaying. Without bothering about
the suitable plane. I can just align my
plane to this door. How select Align to surface. I'll click on this door. Here we go. Now my plane is
automatically aligned to the surface and I can move my plane forward and metalloid. Similarly, suppose I want to cut this building from
the roof surface. You can see vertically. Then there are two options. Either I can choose the top alignment or I
just select Align to surface daycare and my plane is aligned to the top surface. And here I can easily move
my plane up and down. Suppose I wanted to cut the
building from this direction. So either I can select the plane alignment
from friends or just quickly select
Align to surface. Click on surface and heavy go. Now in continuation to debt, Let's see the box option,
enable sectioning. Let's go to box. And now you see a box
plane has been created. 3d box has been created. That box means that it will show you whatever building is
coming inside that box. If I move my box, only that part of building is visible that is
enclosed in the box. If you want to see the
complete building, then just scale the box. The x, y, and z direction. You can see the
complete building. Now you see I've
increased my box size to such an extent that my whole building
is inside the box. Now, if I wanted to see only a particular
area of building, then again, I will
have to scale my box. I'll have to reduce the size
of box to fit that area, which I went to see see reduced the meetings, the box size, but still it is large enough to
contain the building. There are many options
available with the box as well, like a scale, move, rotate. I can move this box. I can do date this box, I can scale this box. We're practically, we are
going to use this command. Suppose There's a big building and you just want to
look only in this area. So what you will do, you will just sink or box to that area. And only in that area, you can do your review. You can do your walk around. You can create, leave you the
properties of the element. So let's try to do it here. This is the box which
I won't do view. What I have to do. I have
to shrink the box size. So every scale it, Let's fastest scaling
in this direction. More and more and more. Now it's still the boxes more. Sal, move the box somewhere
to the center of this. Again, I will escape. Now. I have to scale in
this direction. Sec from this side. Next the scale in
this direction, as my box admit, if somehow at any
point you are lost, you can use the command
Control Z to these, to the previous point. To front-end. High
moving ******. Scale. Scale. Again,
move it a bit. Scale. Scale. You can see I have reduced my box size to such
an extent that I am just looking
only to this part. I can refine it a
bit further to make sure that only that part is
enclosed within the box. Now, with the help
of this blocks, you can see I can cut it. And the help of loop command. In this direction. I can cut it. From the top. I can view the properties. I can cut it in this direction. I can get it in this direction. So this box command, the boss sectioning, is highly useful when you learn
to view a small area. And you want to cut
sections along x, y, z direction into
that small area. Y plane command is used
when you want to use, when you want to view
or when you want to review a big
building level-wise, either from the top or from the, from the front or
from the sites. Okay, so now we
have learned how to use section box or
planes and box. I have shown you in
the latest model that how they mourn has to be used. We can use tall bottom
friend back, left, right, or I can
align to a surface. The box mode as well. I can set up a box more. I can move it, I can
rotate it. I can scale it. As I mentioned earlier. If I wanted to review only
a small part of my model, then the box where it
is really very handy. If we just set up your box to that small area and then you
can review easily that part. But they'll give you a
little tactical inside of this lecture to basic navigation
inside nervous works. The more you practice in a
real Navisworks environment, the more handy all
these commands welcome. If you will, even
practice just for a week, you will find that after a week, you are very confident inside the nervous folks how to
move from 1 to other. How do you use section planes? How do you section bulks? It all depends. How much time and efforts you'll put it inside a real
Navisworks model. Thank you very much
for your time. Have a great day. Thank you.
4. 3. Mark ups and View points: Hello everyone. Here we are with part three of our Navisworks 2022
training program. In this lesson, maybe cover
mockups and viewpoints, which will contain how we do measurements
in the Navisworks. Creation of viewpoints
and mock-ups, organization of viewpoints,
and exploiting viewpoints. Before we move on to new points, let's quickly understand
the workspace. What is the workspace
and which is the preferred workspace we
have to use in Navisworks. So let's go to our
Navisworks model. Here we are. So just to give
you a brief idea, what these all
property types are. The most important
thing is selection. Selection tree gives our
hierarchical organization of the model that have been
important in the Navisworks. To give you an example. If I select on
sample our project, then it will select all
the architectural elements that have that are there
in this Navisworks. Similarly, if I select sample
is structured project, then it will highlight all
less structure element. Or you can say all the elements in this
sample structure project. Similarly, if I select
sample Amy Mack Project, it will highlight all
the elements that are inside this sample
mechanical Project dot NWC. To give you farther more
insight regarding this, let's click on LEA
limb any element. So I selected this element and you can see in
the selection tree, it has given me the
hierarchical structure of this element.
Let me show you. This element is inserted
sample mechanical project. It's on the roof level. It is a mechanical equipment. It is m underscore our
door ASU horizontal, which is 575.70 square
meter of oil, outdoor ASU. So you can see just by clicking, clicking an n element, you can find very
relatively it is placed inside a big and complex
Navisworks complete model. To explain you again, let's select some other element. Let's select this as T pipe. If I wanted to know
where this is, steel pipe is
hierarchically located. In the model. We can see it is inside sample is
structured project dot NWC. It is in the entry level. It is m underscore
pile is still buy, which is a 400 diameter. This is how we use the selection tree trip or selection three
Docker build window. Just below it is the plan view. Even you are working
in your main 3D view. It's still, you
can have a look on the plan view and there's
a tab section view. If you click on it, you can
see the section you as well. Irrespective of in which orientation is your
main 3D model, you can still have a look on
your plan and section view. Now. The next important
outcomes is the property. In this property tab. We will come to know
all the properties, or you can say all
the parameters that are associated to the
selected elements. Example again, Let's click
this and you can see the various properties that have been incorporated
in its native file. For example, let's say
rabbit are creating here. So the under the
Properties under Item tab it is giving me
properties and value name is 5.7 square meter of oil. Type is mechanical equipment. Source filings this
in the element ID, you will find the
value for double 7672. This element ID is
highly useful when you want to trace this
element in the rabbit. You just copy paste this
element ID from here, go to that average file, paste it there, and you will find this element with
the help of elementary. Next document window
is saved viewpoints. The same viewpoints.
You will find. Some folders are already
there without even creating these folders are the default one that are coming. While you are exporting
your Revit models. If you wanted, you can keep
it in, if you want it. If you don't want it,
you can delete as well. All the saved viewpoints that
we are going to learn in this chapter how to create save viewpoints
will appear here. The guiding, the previously made see if viewpoints
that have been automatically generated
from the files that have been exponent from Revit. It's Yochai is if you want
to keep it, you can keep it. If you want to delete them, you can just select, press Delete, and all
these will be deleted. Okay? So as we have
discussed that this is the best possible format
of the Navisworks. You should work. Again how to get this? Go to View Load Workspace, and this is Navisworks extended. When you click on
it, automatically networks with will set itself in this format where in the
left side you will have selection tree and
view document window. On the right side, you will have properties and save viewpoints. And the middle of
it you will have your defendant default 3D view. Although there are other
preloaded workspace as well, like Navisworks, the standard. Like Navisworks, minimal. But my personal preference and
advice to all the users of Navisworks is to use the
workspace Navisworks extended. The only reason being in
this workspace you will find all the related item
that you will need while reviewing a model or navigating through
the Navisworks. Now let's go back to
our presentation. We have learned that our preferred workspace is
Navisworks next, extended. And on the left-hand side
we have the selection tree, which displays a variety of radical views of the
structure of the model. Next important things that are coming in the
upcoming chapter, measuring tool and viewpoints. Let's start with
a measuring tool. As Navisworks is mainly
a reviewing program. So whenever we are
reviewing a model, the main thing that we need to review location of an element, that dimensional
correctness of an element. So these measuring
tools comes very handy when we are trying
to check the angle, area, length of any element
inside the name is folks. To go to the Navisworks
measurement tool, you have to click on
Review and incentive. You. You feel you will
find a measure TAM. And inside mesoderm also, there are various options like do you want to
measure point-to-point, point to multiple points, point line, accumulate,
angle, area. What these options exactly do, Let's check it out in
the Navisworks model. Here we are. Suppose these are rooftop unit on the
roof of this building. And I want to know the
measurement of this unit. So let's go to the top view. Click on Review. Meso. Point-to-point. Suppose I want to know the
dimension of the edge. I select the point. Click left side off
my mouse button. Then again, I go to
the desired point, click mouse left.
And here we are. You can see why it
is showing 2.850, although in the excellent
also it is showing 0. That means it is not a
perfectly straight line. But although for our purpose. We can take that I
mentioned 2.850 meters. To give you some insight about the meso
meeting Navisworks. Although it is not a 100%
accurate in the sense that we're getting it
by picking some points. So sometimes it
might happen that although you eat may appear that you have
picked the right point. But inside the
Navisworks software, it might have been a point
which is nearby to that point. I'll always advise you if there are few
critical dimensions that you have to confirm. You should recheck from the
native rabbit file as well. Okay. So we have
created this dimension. Suppose now I don't want
to see this dimension, so I will click on here. Now, let's suppose I want to measure the dimension in excess. So algo point-to-point
and click on this point. And I click on this point. You see the dimension
is 5.240 meters. Now let's go to the friend
view, clear this dimension. Let's try to measure
some dimension here. Suppose this is a pile cap and I want to know the
dimension in x and y direction. I select here. I select here. Now you see the
points observation or not a perfect straight line. That is why it is
showing you the distance in x direction and z
direction as well. Now, let's check out
what other options do. Point to multiple points. Let's say I have to measure large area
or a long distance. So let's come here. I select this as
a file, so find. Then second, so this
distance is 2.954. Again, I need to know that
this tends still here. So now it is giving me the
cumulative distance of 8.162 meters. Let's clear it. Now. Let us see what
these options does. I select here? This is 3.63.060. Again, up to here. It is 8.210. It is 22.530. And it is also showing you
the break points where you have clicked on your works. Now, let us see accumulate. I click here, click here, click here, click
here, click here. It is showing me the
total accumulated length wherever I have clicked. Now, the angle, which
is an important one, if you want to know the angle between two lines
or three points. So it is calculating the angle built on
three-point scratch area. I click on here, I click here, and suppose here it is showing the angle 29.8 to two degrees. The last one is, suppose I want to know the
approximate area. So what I'll do, I will try to create a fence
across the area. So you can see this
rectangular window portion is somewhere around
89.178 meters squared. Now, just next to the
message type is a lock them. So what does that lock them do? It locks your
messaging capabilities in a particular direction. I'll just quickly
give you an example. Let's lock x-axis. What it does when I
will try to measure, my mouse will not go in any
direction except x-axis. So whenever you are trying to measure the distance
on a straight line, then you have to always
lock x is, in this case, I've logged x-axis,
so I learnt be able to measure anything on
the wired z-axis, my mouse. Or you can say, the
analysis once we learned, allow you to go you in any
other direction except x-axis. This mode probability of
getting an accurate dimension. So the direct and
the dimension or the distance is 12.334 meters. Let's clear it and
now let's check it. If I loved the y-axis, the y-axis is logged,
then you can see. Okay. Did you guess why I'm not able
to meso it's not locked on the y-axis because
y-axis is just perpendicular to this plane. So I log z axis, then you see it is
only allowing me to miss that in the z direction nor than
any other direction. So let's see, I want
to get this direction. The guide, this is dense ten, so it is 9.17 meters. Let's clear it. So I hope now the meso and the log
commands are clear to us. Inside method you
have various points. Variance is further sub options. And log is used to lock
that particular x, since it can be x, y, z. You can lock it in
the perpendicular and you can lock it in
a parallel way as well. This clear command is used to create the already
taken dimensions. So let's try to find an
area and clear this log. Suppose for this area, I have find out the area. Now I want to save it. So what I'll do, I'll click on Convert to markup. You can see a view
has been created, which is showing
me this mock-up. To make it more clear, Let's go somewhere else. And let's measure
this direction. The rooftop unit. Now, I want to save this
dimension as well, so I'll click on
Convert to markup. Now, this has been
automatically created as view1. Now let's go to
some other point. Let's say I want to miss
this and I want to save it. So I'll convert on, I will
click on Convert to mockup. It has been created as v2. Are these views and what
they are showing to us. To check it, let's
click on View. You'll see we have automatically been redirected to the view that was creating. Bye. Checking out the atria. If I click on View one, you will be automatically directed to the
rooftop unit we are, you have measured the
second dimension. If I click on u2, you
can see it takes you automatically to the area where you've taken
that third dimension. These views are CFD viewpoints. To explain you for further, Let's go back to our slides. These are the saved viewpoints
which we can create. So the same viewpoint window is a window that allows us to many different
view of your model. Just by clicking on
a saved viewpoint, you can directly reach to
that part of the model. Viewpoints are
basically snapshots. They're displayed in
that same viewpoints. You can annotate
these viewpoints. You can mock comments. And these viewpoints. You can also export to
some of your team members. You can export to a third party. Most important part is that
all these viewpoints remains a part of your
Navisworks independent of the model geometry. To give you an example, like we were taking dimension
of the rooftop unit. So these dimensions will not become a part
of rooftop unit. It will still remain
a part of Navisworks. If we are changing our Revit
files again and again, the same viewpoint,
will it still be there? To make you clear this, Let's go back to it gets worse. What I mean to say, let's
go to viewpoint one. This viewpoint, whatever
I created the line and the dimension 5.489 meters
is a part of N WWF. It's not like that this
dimension has been updated or these dimension
has been mod two, that roof top unit. And in the rabbit also you
will start seeing that math. It is just inside the end
WWF that these local, or you can say temporary
dimensions have been created. And it will always remain
in this Navisworks. Even when suppose In the later stage, you
delete these rooftop, rooftop units from the rabbit. Again, export it,
but it's still, this mark will be here. Okay, so let's move
further and see how can we save a viewpoint
and do a mock-up on it. Let's get back to
our nervous file. Ve created some viewpoints
like view mu1, mu2. Suppose this is
your viewpoint to and you want to add some
additional information to it. You want to add your
comments to it. So how can you do it? So just go to Review and
you can draw any shape. I don't read like cloud
eclipse freehand line. So let's do an eclipse. Suppose you wanted to add
your comments as well as of now the height
of this is 6.5. Suppose you want to
add a comment that in these high to seven meters, say, you click, Okay. That comment has now been added or you can say
mocked up on this view. To make sure that this is saved. There are two options
you can go to. Right-click and update. Whatever you have.
Whatever mockup you have done here
will be updated here. Hi Logan, show you if you
have added something, if you have to reject something, or you've allocated
something in the CPU, just right-click and
click on updates, so everything you have
done will be saved. What you can do that
suppose now again, I have to mark some comment. So I'll go to review. I'll say text. And wherever you click the
test, that x will appear here. Suppose I click here so
that x will appear here. And I want to add a comment like consult is structured
team as well. I click on OK. The texts
that I've typed here. Here. And suppose
I want to save it. So again, there are two options. I click on that, click on view and
update. What I can do. I can go to viewpoint
and just click on it. It will be saved.
If I want to see. Let's go back to View. When I again come back to V12, all my mockups are saved here. In this way, you can easily create viewpoints
and mock-ups, and it will be saved
in this spinel. Let's take another example. Let's go back to
the default view and let's see what are the properties of this
mechanical equipment. It is MR2 THE horizontal. And let's see what other
item properties it have. It has 5.75 square
meter of coil. And as a reviewer, as an expert, I want to say that no change
it to 7.5 square meter of y. What I'll do, first of all, I'll save it as a viewpoint. So I'll click here and
go to the viewpoint. Then say viewpoint. Now this image, or you can say that this is
snapshot has been saved. Now I want to do
some laptops on it. So what I'll do, I'll add again, go to review cloud Eclipse
if you wanted to do like. My comment is regarding this. If I want to add some
comment, I'll add that. Change it to 7.5 squared meter coil. You see. The commands have
been amputated. But what will happen
when you will move from this view burnt? Suppose I move here, then automatically that
viewpoint will disappear. Mock-ups will disappear. Why? Because that mockup are specific to debt
freezed viewpoint. If you disturb that will bind, then these mockup will go. As you again, I
click on View full. So now mockups have a beard. If I click on View three, there is nothing in the U3, V2, then Matlab's have appeared. If I click on View and then
the mockups have a beard. Let's move next. And the next important
point to discuss is how to organize viewpoints. In a real life environment. There will be many, many
viewpoints when you are going to review
and Navisworks file. There can be many ways on
organizing the viewpoints. One weekend be creating separate folders and putting your viewpoints in debt
folders, for example. How you can create a folder just right-click on
the same viewpoint. And you will find new folder. In the new folder, suppose there are four persons who are going to review this model. So these viewpoints can be saved by the name
of that person. So let us say an a. Again, you can make a
new folder, person B. Let's say we have one mole
persons who are going to review this person's see. Now what can happen in a
real-life environment. All these persons are making viewpoints and then
all the viewpoints, the saving into their
particular folder. Let's say I'm a person a, and I've already created
these three viewpoints. So what I'll do, I'll select and drag them into my folder. Now you can see some of them I have died by
mistaken view or in person C. So I can again drag it back. All my viewpoints are now
in the for-loop as an a. This can be one of the way where multiple people are
viewing a same model, then they're saving
their viewpoints in a particular folder. Now, let's say
it's not the case. We are reviewing the
model based on services. So let us say I am first
swing based on architecture, then doing based
on its structure, then I'm doing wisdom MAP. In the same way, I can create
new folders. Let's say. We can make few folders by
the name of disciplines, let's say structure, architecture and say MVB. We can segregate in this way as well that the
viewpoints that are consenting to a particular
discipline should be kept in their
discipline only. So how we are going to do that? Let us say I am creating a new viewpoint regarding
this unit on the top. Create a viewpoint, I save it. I let us say it is
MAP point number one. And I, as of now saved
it as viewpoint. If I wanted to do some mockup, I'll go to Review. I can add some clouds
here in there. I can add some texts. Saudi, I can add some text here. Let say remove it from the top. I can update the viewpoint so that everything I've done
is I'm reagent here. Now what I can do, I can just drag and
drop this, this MAP. So just to make sure where
you have to pick this icon, you have to just click the left mouse and
just drag and drop. Here in the MEP. Now it will
go inside that MEP folder. There can be various,
various ways. How can you organize viewpoints? You can organize based on
the disciplines you can organize based on the number
of people who are reviewing. Or you can also organize
based on the levels. Levels. I mean to say if this
building has four levels, then I can organize my
viewpoint saying level one, then all of your
points concerning to level one will
be in that folder. Level to all the viewpoints
concerning to level two will be in the level two
folder and so on. So it depends how you function in
your organization or when you are working
with Navisworks. So there can be many ways
to organize the viewpoints. It's up to you and
your convenience and your processes within
your organization, how you are going to do that. Okay, so let's move further and find out some more commands. So let's try this erase command. What it is, this whatever
mark-up you have done if you want to delete it or
erase it, it can be done. So let's add some text. Click here. And if you want to change the
color of the text, you can change
from here as well. If you want to change
the thickness, you can change from here. Let's select the green
color and then text. Okay, so you can see the of
the texts has been changed. So similarly, if
you want to change any color of your choice, you can select it from here, also, the text height
and thickness. You can select it from here. Now, suppose you have created a text in the mockup and
now you want to delete it. So what you have to do, just click on it is select a
box around it and it's gone. Okay, so now we have seen
how to create a mockup, how to save viewpoint. Now another important
topic is how to add tags and what
is actually attack. So let's go back to default
position to understand it. That basically is
a combination of viewpoints and mockup
and your comments. So I'll show you how it works and what are the
benefits of using a tag. So let's move out here and
suppose you want to tag here. What I'll do, I'll edit tag. Left-click where I
want to start the tag. And again, left-click
where I want to put the number of the tag as of novelty shrink six because probably I have created five
texts earlier in this model. If you are starting first time, then it will show number one. Okay? Now, I will attest
to this element, and now I can add
my comments too. It's, let's say relocate. This good man. I have Magda command. We look at this
equipment and I've added a tag to this equipment
as our tag number six. Now let's go to
some other location and tried to add some other tag. I will go to review. At tag I want to
add to this tab. I'll select here and
I'll say these sizes. I say, OK. Now our edit two tags
apart from my viewpoint, step number six
and number seven. You can just click to
reach to the tags. What are the benefits of adding a tag over making a
viewpoints and mock-ups. So you will see that I've
edited a tag number six. And if I want to show, if I wanted to see whatever
edit as a command. So just click on View Comments. Now you can see it is showing ME commend relocate
this equipment. It is showing date, author, command,
daddy, and status. Similarly, if I want to see what's enclosed in
my tag number seven, I can just click
on View Comments. And it is showing
me check the sizes. What is this a status. I'll show you where I'll
validating a new tag. Let's say I want to edit tag
this pipe, so I'll edit tag. Sorry, I'll edit tag here, click here, and say
remove this pipe. In the status, you will see that there are
various his status, new active approved result. So these tech making can be a part of your
coordination or review process. You can, you can assign the
status as it isn't new tag or a new issue or is it Is it an activist shoe or the issue has been
approved or resolved? So suppose I put it as an
active issue and click Okay. When I'll go to the command, you will see the
status will appear as. It to summit up. The better way of using a coordination review meeting
or glides review meeting, model, quality Jakob meeting. I'll suggest you to use
tags because it shows the status and it doesn't clutter the scene because
whenever you are making, when you are adding mockups, all the texts are visible here. So sometimes what happens
that if in a scene there so many mock-ups than the
screen looks cluttered, so better use tags it will, it will look neat and clean and you can export it anytime. Final and last
important chapter in this topic is how to export, import, and share our
viewpoints and the tags. So let's go back to nervous. We have already created
these viewpoints and tags. Now we will try to export
these tags so that these tags are the
viewpoints can be used by some other Navisworks uses. They can be another way
of sharing these texts. Like you can save this
Navisworks file as an NWA. And directly you
can share that end WD with the other users. Medina. And WD will be
having some large sizes, so it will be difficult for you to share it by mail or
conventional methods. So the better way of
sharing is sharing the text is just by exporting the tags and sending
it to the other users. I'll show you how in the same viewpoint
window does right-click. And you will see option
Export viewpoints. So whatever viewpoints you have, you have created, they
will be exported. Just left-click on
export viewpoints. It will ask you where
you want to save it. So I'll say I'm
saving on desktop. And let's say there's two
viewpoints underscore one. Please note that the only or the default format of
these points are XML. Xml. And I click on Save. Now these viewpoints have
been saved, exported. Now let's see how you will import these viewpoints
to a new file. So what I'll do, Let's open a new Autodesk Navisworks
file and try to import those. Exported viewpoint. I have opened a new
file which doesn't have any tags or other viewpoint. So what I'll do, I'll import the viewpoints
network exploited previously. So the same process
that I click here, import viewpoints and I
have saved these viewpoints on the desktop site here m under Desktop for
test viewpoints. I click Open. You can see all the
viewpoints have been important to these
file. Let's check it. In this way, you can easily
export and import viewpoints and these XML files you can easily send by your
Outlook or Gmail. Suppose I'm a project manager, I have reviewed the
Navisworks model or I'm a lead engineer. So what I'll do, I'll create viewpoints are the tags in
my neighbors flux file. Once I'm done, I'll
export these and send it to the team persons or the teammates who are going
to correct those viewpoints. As a team person, I can easily import
the text that has been sent by my project
manager or the team lead. We have already discussed
how to import viewpoints. Thank you everyone
for your time. Have a great day
ahead. Thank you.
5. 4. Review and Play with Model Elements: Hello everyone. Here we are with a part four of our Navisworks manage
2022 training program. So let's start. In this lesson, we are going to learn how to review and
play with moral elements, which will include
selection of objects and elements or what adding
element properties, height and height, move elements
and other basic options. View properties and
their parameters. First topic to learn
in this chapter is selection of objects
and elements. Objects can be selected by
simply clicking on them. It can be selected from
the selection tree. If you want to select
similar category of objects, that it can be selected from
the selection tree as well. Let's go to Navisworks
to understand it better. So here we are. The name is flux
many sample model. And suppose I want to
select an element, so simply I left-click
on that element. So you can see in the selection
tree M underscore table, There's turning around
in chairs is selected. If I want to select
all the tables, then I select the parent group. So all the tables which are having the name
m underscore table, they're standing around.
Witches are selected. If we want to select
a similar category. We can go to the selection tree. Go up little bit, select the whole
category by selecting the element in which the family or the
category belongs to. For example, if I
select sent furniture, so it will select all families
are the elements which are embedded or enclosed in
this group called furniture. If I have to de-select
it, just click anywhere and all the
things are be selecting. Next topic is overriding
element properties. We can easily override the element properties
like colors, transparency, or the location. Just select the element,
right-click it, and they will be
bundles of options in the override item category two or red color
transparency and transform. Let's check it. This is a table and I want to override the
properties of this table. So simply selected right-click or what items and
override color. Suppose I want to assign
it red color. Click Okay. Now you can see that color of this table has
been changed to red. Similarly, I can change the transparency as
of now it is opaque. I can set it 250% or a 100%. If we want to set it, I will click Okay. If I don't want to set it, just click on cancel. Similarly, there's an option
called what I'd transform. Let's see what it does. If I click on Transform, then you can see translate
by meter x, y, z. So what it will do if I
gained some value in x, Let's say one meter. So it will move my
object by one meter. Now suppose I want to go away and go back to my
original position. So simply select the
element right-click, reset item, reset transform. Once you reset it, it will go back to its
original location. Now it's still, it's
colored is the red. So I can select it. These aren't item
set appearance. You see now it has
been decided to its original color and location. The same options you can
also get from the toolbar. If you select an element, just go to the Item Tool. And inside item do Lorenzo, you will find options like move, rotate, scale, reset, transform. These at epidemics.
In Navisworks, you can also add some web link. For example, if you want to
add some address of website, maybe a manufacturer or
supplier of this table, just click add link. And here you can name link and
you can add label as well. Although in practice
generally we don't do it. But if you want to add
some hyperlinked to it. That can also be edited. And just in case if you
want to edit those links, are these had those link. You can do it from here. We move next. How to hide
and height move elements. What are other basic options? So to hide an element,
just select it, right-click and there
will be options of height require unhide. Similarly to move, rotate
and scale elements, just select the element. Go to item tool tab. There you will find
move, rotate, scale. These options. If you want to undo all the changes that you
have done temporarily, just go to the Item tab. And there you will
find these and transform and reset epipedons, let's see, in the Navisworks. So suppose I just wanted to hide this table
from the view. So right-click height. You can see in the
selection tree also, the selected element
has got dim. Suppose if you want to
hide all the tables, then you select all the tables
from the selection tree. Height. Very simple. Now suppose you want to hide
all the financial, then select furniture. Height. You see once you hide an
element or a group of element, its text is family texts or
the parameters becomes dim. Now, I went to see
my elements spec. So right-click, this height
is derived by a tick sign. So just select it. All the financials are back. Now, I want to get
my table spec. Select it, right-click and
just again click on height. Now all my tables are also back. See it's still the
table which I hide from the workspace
for the first time we were still missing. When it is. Either you can go to the
selection tree to find it out. And easy option is unhide all. If I click unhide all, then everything that I
have hidden will turn up. And I will see many other
things like grids and levels have also been turned up. So I again hide or unhide them as far my
requirement and needs. Now let's see how to scale
move a selected element. So simply click on the element, go to Item Tool. And here you can see
various commands like move, rotate, scale. So let's try them one
by one. I select Move. Now I can move this
in any direction. X, y, z. Rotate, rotate. Also, I can rotate
along any axis. Scale, I can scale in
any given that action. Select the arrow in which
direction I want to scale. After I'm done, just
click on Reset transform. So it will go back to
its original position. Okay, so let's consider
a practical scenario where you want to just
see if I move an object, let's say by ten meters. So its new location would be, it is quite helpful when a group of teammates are
reviewing a model. And they want to just see
how if I scale an element, how if I move them element, how if I rotate a unit? So how the final
thing will look like? In an ideal scenario, you will have to go back
to native rabbit format. You have to upgrade the things. Again, export it to Navisworks. And again, you have to review. But Navisworks has
this facility to temporarily genes that thinks
in terms of moving it here, in the, in terms of scaling it, in terms of rotating it. So let's check this out. In this case. Let's
go to the top view. Let's zoom it to H8,
which is on the top. Suppose I want to see
where the final location would be if I move this unit by ten meters in the x-direction. So I go to Item Tool, I go to Transform, Move. And then the x direction, I want to move it ten meters
and I click on Transform. So now you can see my unit, unit has been moved by ten
meters in the X direction. Now, I can clearly visualize that this is not the
right location to place my H unit because it is falling
on the boundary line. By this symbol manipulation, I can quickly understand
or I can quickly visualize whether the new
location is appropriate or not. Okay, so now let's come
to our next topic, view. Properties and the parameters. The properties of
selected elements can be viewed in the
property window. The most commonly viewed
properties are item type, material, element
IDs. These node debt. All the information
regarding these properties, parameters are imported from
the native view models. As such, Navisworks is not
creating any property or let us say parameter on its own. All these things are just imported from the native view
model, let's say rabbit. Let's check this property stamp in an actual Navisworks model. So here we are. Let's go to some
structural element. I've selected this steel pipe. And now you can see there are various properties like
item, what is the value, what is the name, whereas a die, what is the GUID?
What is the level? Which phases created? It's a new construction or
an existing or a demo list. Is structural material
more desirable type? What does that element ID
timely manner and element. All these properties are being imported or you
can say in form of a shared parameter or the gains that you've done in the native
BIM model format. Nothing as such has been
created by the Navisworks. All the properties, all the information that you can see in the Properties tab coming
from the native BIM model. Thank you for your
time and attention. Have a great day ahead. Thank you.
6. 5. Sorting and Grouping of Elements: Hello everyone. Here we are with a part five of our leverage Fox 2022
training program. And today we are going to discuss sorting and
grouping of elements. In which we will discuss
about finding elements, selection sets,
selection inspector, and how to manage the sets. First thing that we
will learn today is regarding finding
of the elements. So here we are in our
Navisworks model. Inside home, you will find an
option of finding elements. The same option you will
find at the bottom as well. As you can see. In
the left-hand side, you will see something very
similar to selection tree. And on the right-hand
side you will see various options like category property
conditions in value. So as you can see, that this is very similar
to our selection tree. And it does similar functions
like a selection tree. So if I select,
right-click and select, it will select all
the mechanical items. Or you can see all the items inside simple
mechanical project. Now let's move further and let's check out how
these options work. So to take an example, Let's check the properties
of this rooftop unit. It's name is
mechanical equipment. It's sorry, its type is
mechanical equipment. Name is 177 kilowatt. So let's suppose I want to find this equipment
inside Navisworks. And what I know is
it's type that is mechanical equipment and
the name 177 kilowatt. So I'll go to find
items in the category. I'll select items
in the property. Let's say first,
I want to search for type condition equal to the value Type I want to select as
mechanical equipment. Then I click on Find all. Now you can see it has selected all the items that have type property,
mechanical equipment. But do you remember?
We also want to find an mechanical equipment
whose name was 177 kilowatt. So that means we have to
give one another condition. So let's do it. Now. Again, I want to find an item whose name is equal to 177 Claude. Now I click on Find all. Now you see it has selected
only that it could meant, which has a type
mechanical equipment and the name 177 kilowatt. Please note that all these items are fulfilled by end situation. If you want to change it to all, just right-click and
select or condition. In the other condition, if either of the two
conditions are satisfied, it will select the equipment. And by default, as it is
a n conditional logic. So when both of the
conditions are satisfied, it will select the element. Okay? So our next topic
to cover is sets. We'll cover in this. What is the selection set? How do we create it? How do we manage it? And how can we export
and import sets? Moving further to the sets, let's again start with
the final item types. We're, we're finding the items having value
mechanical equipment. Let's find them on the items. We just satisfying these
conditions are already selected. Now, we want to group
them into a set. So I have to click
on Save Selection. Once the selection is saved, I want to save the search. Now you can see such set
has been created and I can rename it, say
mechanical equipment. And I click Enter. Similarly, let's try to
create one more set. So I go to find items and the type I select the value
is structural foundation, m underscore buy steel pipe, and click on Find all. Now you can see the bile is steel pipe items
have been selected. Now I go to sets. Click on Save Search, and I can rename it. Let's see formulation
pipe, Enter. And now you can see both
of my sector working. You have to note one thing, that these sets are
based on, such criteria. Whatever search criteria you are putting in the find items, the items that are being
served are collected, or you can say, grouped into a category that is being created by
clicking on Save Search. Basically this mechanical
equipment is clicking or you can save picking the items based on your find
item criteria. Similarly, the foundation
pipe is selecting all the pipes based on the
conditions that you have key in into the Find Items tab. In the future chapters, we will learn that how
we are going to use these sets for clash detections as well as for the simulation. The good thing about such
sets is that they can be exported and imported into
another nervous files. So let's try to
export these two sets that we have created into
n, integrated and WWF. So I click on Import, Export, export such sets. Now, I save it on desktop and
let's name it as set one. Now I have opened another
edited file and WD, and now I will try to import the sets which are exported
from integrated and WWF. So simply I go to
set's important sets. I select set one open. Now, you can see my sets
sets are available here. Now, let's click on
mechanical equipment. So you can see the
set which I created on another nervous file of working very well here as well. I click on foundation pipe. So the foundation is inside
and now you can see the pipes that was selected or the set which was created
in another nervous file. Once imported or exported. They are behaving
exactly in the same way. Similar to our saved viewpoints, you can also create folders. Inside folders. You can create your search sets. You can duplicate,
you can add commands, you can sort, and obviously you can import and
export as well. In this chapter, we have Quickly covered how to find items, how to create sets, how to manage them, and how to export
and import sets. The sets we are going to use extensively for our 40 simulations
and cleanse detection. Thank you for your time. Have a great day
ahead. Thank you.
7. 6. Clash Detection: Hello everyone. Here we are in the part six of our Navisworks 2022
training program. In this part six, we're going to discuss in detail regarding
clash detection. In this tutorial,
we will include generation of clash report,
understanding of clash, shipboard, grouping of clashes and assigning
responsibilities, exporting pleasure board
to various formats. This class detective feature
of Navisworks is the most used and soft
After feature. The glass detective tools enables effective
identification, inspection, and reporting
of interferences, clashes in a 3D project model. Glass detective can help you to these risk of human error
during modelling inspections. You can also use
this class inductive to conduct class tests between our traditional
geometry or a 3D model or a laser scan point
cloud model as well. And we can also
link together clash detective, timeline,
animations, etc. Which enables us for a fully
animated class testing. To demonstrate how do we
use this classic active. Let's go to our
neighbors Fogg's model. Okay, so now we
are in Navisworks and inside now we've
Navisworks in the Home tab. You will find clash
detective here. And if you are in Navisworks
extended workspace, you will also find
clustered active here. To start clustered active, first thing we have to
do is to edit test. By default, when you add a test, test one is creating, but it is always advisable to rename it to give
some real sense. For example, I'm going to detect clashes between architecture
and infrastructure. So I will rename it as
architecture versus structure. Then first thing we have to
see inside the tool stamp, rules are basically
some conditions in which the clashes
will be ignored. For example, if items
are in the same layer, items in the same group, items in the same file, items with the same
coincident point. If you want to ignore the clashes with the items in the same layer,
just check it. Apart from these four rules, you can also create new rules or select the rules which
are present in this stem. Next important
step to see is the selective. The select tab. We have to select the models or the disciplines among which we want to put an
eclipse detection. So you will see
there are two parts, selection a and selection be. Selection a is similar
to our tree view. We are, we can select a
standard compact property sets. So suppose I'm in standard
mode and I want to select complete architectural
model selection a. And I want to see the clashes
against I structure model, which is my sample
is structural model. And WC in the selection B I
select is structured model. I repeat. Selection. And selection B
are basically the elements or the models or the items between which you won't do that
on a glass reduction. In selection a, I've selected
architectural model, and in selection B, I've
selected instructional model. Then there are few
options at the bottom. Like what kind of clash
type you want to select, hard, hard conservative
clearance duplicate. What is the total trends? So I've selected a
standard tolerance between structure
and architecture, which is 25 MM. To understand what are
these types of clashes, let's go back to our PPT. So as we discussed
for class detective, we have to first edit test. We have to select the
models or the items. Now, the rules, the certain things which you don't want
to include in your question, you can exclude them
with the help of rules. Again. The selection set
in selection a and B, you will find something that is very similar to our
selection tree. And inside it, you will
find four basic options is standard compact
properties and sets. Now the point that we were discussing in our
neighbors first model, that basically there are
four types of uncontrolled, hard, hard conservative,
clearance and duplicates. So what does all these means? Let us understand one by one. When we select hard. Then it will show us the classes that are
actually intersecting. In hard conservative. It will treat two
objects as intersecting. Even though the geometry
may not. In clearance. Two objects are treated
as intersecting. They come within a specified
distance of each other. This is widely used when we form to see Manhattan clearance, when we want to see maintenance clearances,
these types of things. If we select clearance, then obviously it will also
detect any hard classes. You may use this type of
clearance when the pipes need to have certain space
for insulation around them. The last one control
is duplicates. To insert tech. To intersect two objects must be identical. Martin type and position. This type of class
testing may be used to clash that entire
model against itself. This enables you to
detect any items in the scene that we have been
duplicated by mistake. But practically
most of the times be used hard clash and control. Sometimes we use clearance and control mainly when we are
looking for that clearances. Let's go back to our
neighbors Fogg's model to see how we actually then our test
in Santa Claus, detective. Once we have selected the right selections or the right models in
selection and selection B. We have said that all
lenses and we have selected that type
which we want to have. Then just click on Run test. Before clicking on it, I want to explain few
of the other options like surfaces, line points. What does that mean?
If I select surfaces? Most of the time in
practical scenarios, I always keep these surfaces on. This means that it will
include the surface geometry. If I click online, then in the collection it will include line geometry as well. And if I select point
as well that it will include orange geometry
also. The class test. Next is self-intersect,
which is self-explanatory. Use current selection means the selections which
I've selected here. Mostly for our clashes. I use surface geometry. Now, once all the
parameters have been set, I click on Run test. So you see the clash detection between our
collection is such as complete, his status is done. And the Navisworks have
found 2204 clashes. By default, all the clashes are assigned in a new category. Then there are some blank
categories like active, reviewed, approved,
and dissolved. I will show you later
how we will move these clashes to these
various categories. Now, our next time or the
next task is to understand how to understand all these
large number of fleshes. To understand it.
The names column, you'll find the number of
clauses like clash 1234. You status as new. On which level the
clashes occurring. What is the greater
intersection? At what time it was phone. And as we have said, the description, it
is a hard clash. And a distance means how much the two elements
are clashing. In this case, the clash is. 2.940 meter. Now, I click here and you'll see this is
the highlighted thing. You mainly can see to a less green and orange how
they are coming. Just click on the
Display Settings. And the item one. The architecture is
being highlighted in this orange color and the structure is being
highlighted as green color. In item to view our
clashes clearly, there are various options
inside this display settings. For example, if I
click on Hide other, then you will see all the elements except the elements that are
clashing are hidden. Now, it will give us a clear view that what are the elements
that are clashing? Suppose I wanted to
understand more about it. So I just select this element which is
inside the architecture. It is a mass flow in
the main building. Two, which is under flow. If I want to know more
about this green element, just select it and it
will show you that it is inside the structure
and it is a basic fall, 300 m and concrete. Now if you want to see these clashes as a
context in whole project, then again go back
to clash detective. Click on Hide other. Then you will see that now you are not
able to see the clash itself because now it is being shown the conduct of
a complete model. So again, if you want to see
that, click on hired other. But if you want to see
the complete model, just click on dim other. So it will show the
complete model, but it will, it will be deemed. Now you can zoom and see where your clashes
actually occurring. You can see and understand
it clearly in that this is a structure of all which is
going through and through. This red color is basically a architecture floor which is penetrating through
this structural wall. This one more options like
focus on clash. What it does. It sets the window in such a way that you can easily
focus on the clash. So similarly now you can
look for other clashes, like by selecting class too. You will see the clash too. And if you want to find more details
regarding this class, just click on this item and the below will
give you detail. Like item one is
a main building, 03 floor I didn't
type is mass flow. And item number two,
which is green, is basically a basic fall and it is inside the
instruction model. Now you can see, you
can see all the details of all the slashes like this. In a practical case, if you're working on a big, big model of all
three disciplines, then you may be
surprised to see that initially the clashes
welcome in thousandths. But don't worry
about those clashes because most of these clashes
are of similar nature. For example, if I
click on clash fun, you can see it is the same
volume of 300 MM concrete, which is clashing with floor. Once you will split this
wall at each floor, then many of the classes
will be resolved at once. So don't get bothered about
large number of clashes. Although in the first time, the number of clashes
will be high. But once you will start
correcting the native model, then you will see the number of clashes will start
reducing drastically. Now, suppose as a
coordinator or as a lead, I have found so many clashes. So how I'm going to assign or allow these clashes
to my team members. Now, since I can see this is a structure wall which is clashing with
architectural elements. So I can assign this to a structural guy to split
this fall at certain levels. Since many of these clashes
are of similar nature. So what I'll do, I'll select clashed with pressing Control a to select all the similar type of clashes. And suppose in this way, I've selected clash
phone, do clash five. I will assign it to say
it's structural lead. And I can also write a note. Please. Split the wall levels. And I click on. Okay, so similar thing, I have to go through
each and every class and see home to
assign these clashes. Sometimes you will also see
that a clash may be false. What does a false claim means? Suppose there's a sprinkler that is popping out
of a false ceiling. In the Navisworks. Although with the
selected tolerance, it may show as a clash. But you know, this is how I sprinkler is
attached to a ceiling. So you can assign it
as a false glass. And to be very precise, you can assign that clash into approved or
result category. Okay, so now let's have another cluster reduction with some other disciplines. So at this time, let's test it between its
structure versus MAP. So in the selection a, I'll select the
structural model. And in the selection B, I'll select mechanical model. I want to clash between
a surface geometry. The tolerance this
time I have set as ten MM and I ran the clash. You can see between Instructure
and mechanical or MAP. 3,058 clashes have been found. Now again, let's go back
and change the tolerance. Let's say instead of ten, now, I want to run at 50
MM of tolerance. Now, you see from approximately
3 thousand clashes, the number of clashes
have come down to 2500. That is quite obvious. As soon as you increase
the tolerance, the number of clashes
will go down. In an actual project scenario. During the initial phases like Marie phases,
concept design. You prefer to work with
higher tolerances. And as your design progresses, you wish to go for
lower tolerances. Mostly between architecture
to restructure. We use tolerance of 25 MM. Wherever MEP services
are involved. We take tolerance of ten MM. But again, please
keep that in mind. That the tolerances of a
project depends on phase, depending upon the
projected standard and the kind of project
that you're doing. Now let's then another clash
between MAP2 MEP services. So I'll click on Test. I'll rename it as MAP
versus MAP selection. A, I'll select mechanical
project in the selection be also I'll select mechanical
project tolerance is 0.010, that is Tanium and
I will run test. So now you can see total
6188 clutches have appeared. Similarly, you can add as
many tests as you want. And you're in each
full-fledged detective or you can say the
initial report is ready. But as I mentioned earlier, once you will receive so
many of 1000 clashes, then you also have to
sort all these clashes. Some of the clashes
may be false. As I gave you example of a sprinkler versus
the false ceiling. So those types of places, you have to change its
status from new to approve. For example, let's go to architecture versus
structured clashes. And suppose clashed
number 101112. You want to assign as
a false class because you understand that at this point of time or in
this phase of project, this class is not relevant. What you will do,
you will select these clashes and
in their status, you will assign it as approved. Similarly, suppose there are certain clashes for which you
want to discuss is further, or you want to assign them that these
classes have been dissolved. So just select by
pressing control and you can change the
status as a result. All this status. Will be visible in the report, either in SAML or the Excel format that we will
export from the Navisworks. So all these things
you have to do prior to exporting the
report to HTML or XML. Also, for each active clash, each real clash, you have to assign it to the
responsible person. Now, you are done with that
question inside Navisworks. But then you have to present
a report to your team, your project manager,
to their team members. So a convenient way of doing this is exporting
the clash as a report. By default, the Navisworks can export into HTML or XML formats. Later, this as HTML format
can be saved as Excel. And you can do all commands
of Excel like sorting, arranging, renaming
inside the Excel itself. Let's see how we are going to export the report
from the Navisworks. Now, when we are done with all the categories
of class test, now, we have to
export the report. So before exporting, just
click on this report tab. Here you can select what
information you want to export, like somebody, flash point, date formed assigned
to data approval. And whether do you want to include new active
reviewed, approved? Suppose just in case you want to only export approved places. So just untick all
categories except approved. Now, in the report type, whether you want to export current test or
tests as combined, are tested as separate. So I want to export
all three tests as a combined support.
The report format. It can be exploited in XML, HTML, SAML, tabular text, and more importantly, you can export all your clashes
as viewpoint as well. My preferred format
is HTML tabular. Once I select SAML Taboola, it will ask to write report. Now it will ask the part where I want to save that SAML report. So I save it on desktop in
the Navisworks to duty L. And I name it as Test report and see. Depending on the file size, it will take some time. And also depending on
number of clashes, it will take the
time accordingly. But generally, even
for a heavy file, that test two-port should be exported within five-minutes. Now my cluster test report
has been generated, and now I'll see
how it looks like. Once it has been exported
in the HTML format. You can either open it with the Internet Explorer
or Google Chrome. So let's open with
Google Chrome. This is how the clash
report will look like. Architecture versus
structured or lenses on 0 to five
meters clashes due to 0 for new clashes on crutches
or hard tab is treated. Okay. Since we exported
all reports has come mine. So let's go down in this report. See after structure
versus architecture. Flesh report is finished. Structure versus
MAP heavy started. And similarly, once the list of 3014 clashes
will be finished, the class report of MEP, it says MAP will start. I think its head MAP versus MAP. I said Orleans to 25. Mm, the clashes are 3638. Now, this STL format is
the view only format. You cannot edit it or you cannot add any
column or any text. So open this, you can say to view this
in excel and to edit it, we have to open it with Excel. Excel, opening my take some
time as the STM report, size is quite high. Just fate. This is how a crash report is expected, exported inside the Excel. So architecture where it says
its structure tolerance. And if you want, you can add more columns. You can add more remarks. You can filter. You can do all the options. You can manipulate with all the options that are
available inside Excel. Fun thing to note here is that whatever is snips you
are seeing inside Excel or the HTML
report are saved here in a folder
with the same name. Team report was exported
and you can see all less naps are exported here. Basically, this HTML
report is referencing, or you can say picking the
snaps from this folder. So please do not
delete this folder. Because if you will delete it, you're SAML report will show
will not show any snips. Similarly, if you want to
import collection file, just go to clash detective. And here you will find
import clash test. Just click on it, go to
the right past select, and it will open. Already running tests. There. We have learned how to export the
clusters report to as TML in how to
open it in Excel. Similarly, we can also import the class test in XML format
into any Navisworks file. As we have seen, that when we add an ink clashes between disciplines
to disciplines, for example, between
architecture to mechanical or architecture
to structure. Then we address it. Well then we are getting
thousands of clashes. It will take much time in investigating
all these clashes, assigning them, and then
following up on them. Nowadays are better way of
managing clashes is true sets. You're already discussed how to make sense in our
previous chapters. Now we will use sets for our
cluster reductions as well. So just for your
understanding purpose, I have created few sets. I'll just demonstrate
it for they are. So set one is 400 diet file. So I've selected all
the foreigners up, I'll get it a set. The second set is 400. Mile gap. Tired is four hundred
five hundred Diabelli. Fourth is 400 pile caps. Similarly, I will do level
three and roof level. Now, I will show
how we are going to use these sets for
pleasure deduction. I'll go to class reductive. I'll add a test and
the selection a. Instead of selecting models, I'll select a set. Suppose I'll select
400 diet bile and in selection be in the sets. I select roof level that
ordinances 0.2525 MM. And I what I need,
as you can see, there are 0 clashes
and that is quite obvious because on the roof, the rooftop is here
and my files are here. Now, let's change the selection and let's select a roof
level in selection a, level three in selection B, and now run the test. Now you can see that
therefore default clashes. So just to investigate it, this is my rectangular
duct which is clashing with the
floor on level three. Now you can see that there
are only 44 flashes. So obviously this is quite easy. And it is quite manageable
to assign and drag these 44 clashes. These days. We are using sets
very extensively. For our class section. As I have shown you, you can create sets. Your design phase as patio
construction sequence. Or if mentioned in your
BIM execution plan. And instead of running
clashes for whole model, you can learn classes
for the sets. In this way, you can also
prepare a clash matrix. That means which sets with what tolerance you are
going to detect clash fall. For example, I can
prepare a clash matrix in which column a gives me
that for 400 diameter pile, I have to run a clash with 400 pile cap with
a tolerance of, let say 50 MM. The second item in the clash
detection matrix can be 500 Apple with the
500 diet pile cap with 60 MM tolerance. So in this way, you can prepare a clash metrics as well for your project as part of
project requirements. And instead of running clashes
for whole of your model, you can do clashes
with the help of sets as patio priority S
video construction sequence. And as per your
design development. I know that in my
construction sequence, the piles will be
constructed first, then the final gap. So instead of an in-class
tests for whole model, I can then clusters
in sequence or in phases based on the construction
or design development. So I'll just run clash
of pile with my pal keV, with their tolerance,
with accepted tolerance. So sometimes you need not to run clash for whole
numbers, whole of the model. Instead, you can run the classes for the
smallest small area. Suppose these are industrial
building and there's a plant room inside
the plant room contains most of
the machineries. So instead of running flesh
for whole of the in building, you can just clashes of
the plant room area. You can assign them,
get them resolved. And later in the similar way for the smallest small areas
you can run the clashes. Last part to discuss in the class reduction is how to
manage your NWC is an WWF. In a real life scenario, it may take up to three
to four iterations to make a model
completely cage-free. So once you have generated
the class report for the first time with the
help of an end WAF file, it is always advisable
to use an end WWF until you are checking
clashes internally. Nw D you have to make only when you are sending the final model for submission or to client. Until you are
working internally, it is always advisable
to work with. And WWF, I will tell you why. As you can see, these are my
three NWC sample art model, mechanical model and
its structure model. This integrated is my end WF, which is having all these three. Nwc is now item cluster
reduction for the first time. I send the port to
all the three teams. Then they will
correct the model or build their model and
they will send you back. The NWC is what you have to do. That you have to
just copy paste. Or I can say the place they're
NWC is in the same path. You need not to create our
end WAF file again and again. You just need to paste or replace the files that have been updated
in the same folder. Then you will go to
class reductive report, and you will just
click on update all. So you will see that automatically all these clashes that have been dissolved will be updated in the table here until you are working
internally on the iterations to
remove clashes, to make modern collage free. Always work with WWF and keep on replacing the
NWC is time to time. And in the end WWF, you can just click
on update all and all the result lessons will
be updated automatically. Thank you for your time. Have a great day ahead. Thank you.
8. 7. Rendering & Animation: Hello everyone. Here we are with a part seven of our Navisworks
training program. In this part seven, we will cover rendering
an animation. What is epipedons profiling? How to create good
renders with the help of Navisworks and
Autodesk rendering. How do we record
walk-throughs and animation and exporting
walkthroughs and animation. Let's start with the first topic that is epidemics profiler. We can use LPN's profiler
to apply them in the model to change
the appearance of your systems and items
within the Navisworks. This options allow you to set up custom evidence profile based on sets and property values. We can use them to
color-code objects in the model to differentiate
maybe system types, different group of elements, and visually identify
their status. The good thing is that the epididymis profiles
can be saved as dot DAT file and they
can be exported as well. They can be further imported into any other Navisworks model. Once your DAT file is done, it can be shared across your
company, across your team, and the same DAT file can
be used again and again. So let's go to our
Navisworks model to show you how this
upbringings profiler works. Now we are in our tests Navisworks model to see how
a prince profiling work. Before moving onto
appearance profiling, as we have discussed in the previous lessons
regarding sets. So we will make some sets. This Navisworks model so that they can be used for,
for evidence profiling. I've already made some sets, like the structural framing,
lighting fixtures, ducting. I'll just show you
what these sets are. I'll go to sets and I'll
select my structural framing. You can see I have selected, I selected the
structural framing and how I've done it
through finite items, as I've taught you in
the previous lessons, how to make sets. I've made set of
structural framing, which is highlighted
in the blue. Similarly, I made a set
for lighting fixtures. These are highlighted in blue. And similarly I have made
a set for ducting system. This is the set of
ducting system. I've already applied
some colors to the sets. Just in case in your
nervous sorts model, if you want to apply a
particular color by standards, or maybe as barley or BB, or maybe as per
your color-coding, then how you're going to do it without actually assigning
colors in rabbit. So let me make this
very clear that this color profiling is independent of the
rabbit color scheme. To give colors to your set. Let's go in the Home tab
and epipedons profiler. In the EPM profiler. Since we have already made sets. So we will assign color
by sets, select by sets. And all the sets that we
have made in our notes OK, model are appearing here. Just in case if they
don't appear here, just click refresh and all
the sets will appear here. Now, as you can see, my structural framing
is yellow color. I want to change or I want
to assign a new color to it. So I'll select a
structural framing. Select the color.
Let's say I want to assign a red color to
my structural framing. From here I can set the
transparency from 0 to 100%. I'll keep it at 0
and I will add. Now in the similar way
as lighting fixtures have been assigned green colors. So I'll select lighting
fixtures and I'll assign, let's say blue color. Okay? And then I will add
similarly to ducting system. I'll select that
particular system. I'll assign green color. And now you can see earlier structural
framing was yellow. Now I was saying red
lighting fixtures for green. I was saying blue ducting system was a sky blue and
I was saying green. Now, I'll say Run. Now you can see whatever colors I've assigned in the EPM
profiler immediately then Navisworks has
changed the color of the system as per
the assigned colors. These coloring system,
you can assign S stereo system
type S particular recording and mentioned as
part of BIM execution plan. The good thing is that once you've assigned
for one model, then you need not to do it again and again for
every Navisworks model. How? Because we know that sets, we can export and import inside
any nervous source model. And similarly, these
EpiPens profiler can also be exported
and imported. So how to do that? Just save the
appearance profiler. It will ask you about and just
give it any required name. I name it as godaddy
schema underscore one and save door DAT
file color schema dot DAT file will be
saved in the folder. And if you want same color schema in any
other Navisworks model, just go to Appearance
profiler and load. You can load this color schema. And once you do that,
the same color, the schema will be replicated in debt Navisworks model also. But you have to
keep in mind there since the epipedons
profiler is walking, by the way, offsets. So same set should be present in debt
Navisworks model as well. Since you have already
made sets here. So you do not need to make sets again in another
Navisworks model, you can also export
sets from here, like export such sets. And I name it as
color is schema sets. And save. Once you open. Any other name is Fogg's model. So first, you have to
import the sets from here. Import such sets. You can import coloring schema. So those sets will appear here. And once those sets of
start appearing here, then you can go
to LPNs profiler. You can load the gallery schema From where you have saved. You can load luckily,
schema from here, open it since it has
already been there and just run it. This way. You can do the color-coding
of elements as per your wish in very quick
and efficient manner in all your nervous box model. Now, I have opened another
Navisworks model where the color-coding or the
color effects have not been applied to show you
how to apply it here. First thing first,
what do we have to do? We have to import sets, two sets, imports which sets? I'll go to desktop. And this is the current
schema sets which I've exported previously,
so I'll import it. Now you can see my
structural framing, lighting fixtures, and ducting system sets
have been imported. Now, next step is to
import the dot DAT file. So I'll go to whom?
Epidemic Profiler. I will load schema one. I'll open it. And now you can see, just by clicking Run, the color-coding of my systems, of my sets have been
changed immediately. Next topic to discuss is how do we render inside Navisworks? Inside Navisworks also, you can render very good
quality images. Although today,
various add-ins and various other softwares are
also available for rendering. But just in is if you don't have those adding a good-quality
rendered image, it can also be exported
from Navisworks. In the render tab. Just
go to render in Cloud. Once you would go to render
in Cloud for the first time, Autodesk will ask
you for sign-in. For 3D views, you can only
render the current view. You have to adjust the settings. In Autodesk rendering.
You have to, you can change the finishes, the colors that transparency. And once you are done, you have to render in cloud. Let's go to Navisworks to
see and understand it. Let's see how we are going
to render this model. Let's go to Render
tab, Insert tab. You will find three
main options. Autodesk rendering, rendering in Cloud and render gallery. Once you will click
Autodesk rendering, you will find that all
the settings slake. What materials you
want to apply. What should be the
metal mapping? How should we, the
lighting conditions, environment settings, and
other settings are there? The important setting is to what render you
want to level. If you want good quality render, then you can slide it down. Then the time
letting calculation, numeric precision, the
setting of sun exposure. How do you want to start
light? By default? You can keep the default options that have been set
up in a good manner. Next, once you have
set up the things, now, if you want to
render the whole model, obviously it will
take more time. So you should first select the view which you
want to render. So I will just crop it a bit. Suppose I want to
render this section. What I'll do, I'll go to render. I'll click on it and on Cloud. It will also asked
me the current view, whether I want to render
the current view or altered reviews is still image. And how should we this
standard quality render quality like a standard final. So I select a standard
image size, medium, large, small, I select medium because else if I'll select
extra larger maximum, it may take more time. And how should we the exposure? I click on start rendering. You can check this option. Once that entering is complete, you will get an email
notification as well. Once I click start rendering, it will start to render. Depending on the size
of the model and the view that you have
set up for rendering. It will take some time. If you want to see the
progress of a rendered image, you can go to Render gallery. Once you will click to
the render gallery, it will take you to
your Autodesk account. If you're not signed in earlier, probably it will
ask you to sign in. This is the rendered image. I can download it. I just downloaded this picture. You can see the
actual rendering, although I rendered it
in a very low quality. In general practice, if you have time, good Internet connection, please do it in high-quality
and then you will see very good quality
rendered images. Just to compare the standard
image with the Navisworks. This is a Navisworks model and
this is my attended image. Okay, so now let's move
to our next topic, which is recording Walkthrough
animation in Navisworks. Navisworks can handle
huge 3D files, although the render
quality is not the best. Obviously, because Navisworks is not a visualization software. Viewpoint animation is
quick and efficient way of recording both your
movements through the model and viewpoints. The family two ways to produce
a blueprint in Navisworks. My recording
interactive navigation. And by creating any way to transition between
the same use. You can also create
slideshows and emission, which are essentially
the viewport in transition with a
number of cards pauses, edit between the viewpoints. You can record
your walk-throughs or animation in Navisworks. Basically, my three main ways. Option one is manual recording. Option two is viewpoints method. And option three is
using an amateur. First, we will discuss
about option one, recording, which is the most
simple and basic method. And it works something
like a screen recorder. The animation tab. You start recording. And you navigate inside
the Navisworks model. You can also pause in between. And once you are done, you can stop the recording. Let's see how this manual
recording option work. Option one works inside
that Navisworks. Okay, so now we're inside
the Navisworks model. And now we will see how to record our navigation or the walkthrough
by basic options. So let's set our building and we'll walk from this side and this side
while recording is on. So I go to animation. The guard nodded,
recording has started. And I can whatever I will
do now will be recorded. Simply, you're going
to understand that whatever you are doing
is being recorded. Whatever actions
you are doing on the screen are being recorded. So to put it in simple terms, it is like a screen recorder. If you want to pause, you can
pause in between as well. Now, I'll stop it. By default, it will be
saved as animation one. Now, I can play
this animation to see what has been recorded. You can see whatever
actions for them by me while the recording was on has been captured As a video. This is the most simple, basic method to
record animation. You can just start the recording and navigate
inside the Navisworks model. Suppose you add inside a big
building, multiple floors. You can plan your navigation in such a way that
you start from the ground floor and then rises
up to the for the floors. If our building is divided
into various sub buildings, then you can plan
your navigation in such a way that you start from one sub building
and then travels or enters into another but links. Now let's understand
our option two of recording Walkthrough animation
inside the Navy's first, which is known as
viewpoints method as well. In this viewpoint method, we have to set a starting view and we have to
create a viewpoint. Then using Walk tool, we have to move
further and create in other viewpoints.
In this way. Along our path, we have to create more and more viewpoints. Then we have to name all the viewpoints in
a chronological order. Then we have to
add an animation. Move all the viewpoints
inside that animation. Once it has been done, then we can choose a
duration of video by right-clicking on animation at it and change the duration. Finally, our animation
isn't already weekend. Play the video. Let's see how
we do it inside Navisworks. Now let's create a walk-through recording
using viewpoint method. For that, we have to create a viewpoint at
the starting point. Let's name it as one. Start walking through
along the path. You want to record the video. Again, save a viewpoint, the modus with us three. Again, several viewpoint. Name it as four. Now we have to rotate
on the right side. Rotate. Ben, start moving. Save another viewpoint. Let's limit as five. Farther. It start moving using Warp tool. And save another viewpoint. Six, farther gone. Save another viewpoint here. Let's name it as seven. Now we're getting,
we want to rotate. Ban our model further. Again. I would save a
viewpoint here. Name. Then again, move
further till here. And save another viewpoint. Night. As you can see. We have made around,
around this building from here to here to here. In this path, we have
saved nine viewpoints. Now, I'll add an
animation and let's name it as emission
underscore two. Now, we will select
all the viewpoints. Click on first few point, shift, click on nine. A drag and drop all these
viewpoints inside an emission to now right-click edit. You can edit the duration of the animation as
of now it is 45.8. Let's say I change
it to 50 seconds. Okay? Now you add animation
to is ready. Let's check out how it runs. If you'll notice, you will see the frames are getting cheese. Now. The fourth was highlighted, now the fifth is highlighted. So if we will
understand the logic, these are actually
the C3b viewpoints that are getting transferred. This is the second way. This way is widely used because if the path of
our navigation is fixed, then we can create
certain number of viewpoints along that path, add them into an animation,
and simply plate. Okay, so now we will see
how to use Option three, using animator for making navigate thing video
inside Navisworks. In the main panel,
you have to go to animation. Click on animator. In this animation video, we'll walk through
this corridor and do some animation on the door
to open it automatically. So first thing first, you have to add a scene. Scene is already, already there, so I'll delete it first. In the beginning, you
have to add a scene. Once the scene is added, you have to add a camera to it. So I'll add a camera, a bank blank camera. So this is how the camera will
record this walk-through. Now, at the starting point, you have to add a keyframe. So I'll capture a keyframe. I will give our tentative
length of this walkthrough, let's say 15 seconds. Now, I have to do a walk
through my endpoint. I'll walk like this. And I'll stop here again. And the endpoint, I'll
again capture a keyframe. Now to see how the walkthrough
has been recorded. I'll stop it end plate. Now again, let's try to add a more precise
animation to this door. Soviet selected the door. Right-click on scene one. Animation said from
the current selection. Now we can go
closer to the door. Now we want to rotate it. It'll read gizmos here. We will set it a bit. Then we will add a scene here. We will capture a keyframe. After capturing keyframe, we will give some
tentative timeline, let's say five seconds to it. Then we will do the
actual animation. How we want the door to rotate. Then we will again keyframe. Now you can see my animation is starting from the beginning, but obviously, I don't want the door to be
opened in the beginning. I want it to be open when I'm walking
through the corridors, so I'll adjust it
a bit like this. Now. Let's stop and play
this animation. Now it's looking better
to make it even better, you can select a path or a walkway which is
going through the door. It we more, look more realistic. Now, the last
important part is to export our animations
which we have created. We may have created
it using option one, option two, or option three. But the exporting
process is same for all. Go to the animation tab. Select this scene just played. If you want to check whether
it is the right animation. Yes, it is the right one. Now, I'll click on
Export Animation. In the source. There are many options like timeliness, simulation, current animation. So this is a scene,
so I'll select current animation scene
format is Windows EVA, which is a video format, FPS frames per second. If you want your video to be of high quality,
choose higher frames. Accordingly, you can select
the aspect ratio as well. Then you will click, Okay. Then it will ask a path
where you want to save this. So I'll select on desktop
those folks do to drill for edited file
animator and I click on Save. It will take time depending on the length of your animation. If it is short like 15 22nd, it should ideally be
exploited within 12 minutes. Now let's go back and see how the video
has been exported. This is the file that
has been exported. Let's see how it looks like. As I told that you can improve the quality by selecting appropriate aspect ratio
and frames per second. Once this video is exported, then with the help of common video editors,
you can dream it. You can add some text, you can add background music. So it will give a very good and aesthetic
field to your video. So in nutshell, how
I have explained you how to create walkthroughs, how to modify them, how to add some animations, and how to export them. For the video
processing you can use by any basic when
you are editor. So just now, we have
seen that how to do animation walk-through in Navisworks using option
three using animator. So just a quick review. Start the starting view, send the starting view, and then click on animation. Go to add scenes. Then we have to add a camera, which is initially
a blank camera. Now we have to create
first keyframe and we have to provide entity of time duration
for that keyframe. Then we will start our movement, a movement in Santa Navisworks, and we will capture
the second keyframe. Once the second keyframe
has been generated. A Glencoe timeline will show
between the two keyframes. You've also seen how
to do during emission. So for Doran emission, we have to select the door or any item on which we want
to add the animation. Then on the same scene, we have to add an animation set. Then in the animation set, we, we have to select the
right animation beat, movie, scale, or rotate. In rotate animation, we have to first capture a keyframe
when the door is closed. Then we have to capture a keyframe with the
help of his bow. That door is opened. Then finally, we have to adjust the animation as
power requirement and our walkthrough is ready. The last one that we discussed is exporting animation in
the movie four minutes. So just go to animator, select the animation
that you have made and click on Export Animation. Select the right
aspect ratio in FPS, average requirement,
and click on. Okay. That's all I have today for you. Thank you very much
for your time. Have a great day
ahead. Thank you.
9. 8. Quantification in Navisworks: Hello everyone. Here we are with a part eight of our nose folks training program. In this part, we are
going to discuss regarding quantification
in Navisworks. Will further discuss
setting up of nervous Fox for quantity
takeoff, editing, item catalog, quantity takeoff, and finally, how to export
the quantities into XL. Quantification is Navisworks. It is one of the most useful, yet one of the least used
feature of the Navisworks. The process of
measuring quantities of material from the model
is called takeoff. Quantification helps you automatically make
material estimates. It helps in visiting area and counting,
building components. In quantification, you can easily estimate total quantities or selected quantities of a model without using
any other software, like native rabbit or any
3D modeling software. The good part is the quantities can be easily
exploited in Excel. We're further editing and manipulation using basic
Excel features can be done. So how we are going to set our project in Navisworks
for quantification. Let's go to the Navisworks
itself and see it there. Now we are in our
nervous flex model. So the Home tab, you will find quantification. Once you click quantification, the quantification
work book will pop up. So if you're using
quantification for the first time in
Navisworks in your model. Then you have to set
up your project first. Click on Project Setup. Rule, active view
quantification, getting started to do now. No need because I'm
already given tutorials. So now we have to select a catalog to
organize that takeoff. By default, they're
already three catalogs, CSI 16th, CSA 48,
and uniform it. To understand this, you
can understand or you can think of them like a template, a pre defined template
of material takeoff. If you have any other catalog or you have made a
particular catalog, you can also browse it here. To demonstrate you,
I'll select CSA 16. Next step. Then Navisworks will ask which unit conversion
you want to use. So I'll select matrix,
which is the default one. Next, here you can select the
units like mortar length, you want to have in meter, centimeter, millimeter
kilometers, etc. I'll keep the default s1, which are in the metric. Then next. Then finally, finish. Now, my quantification workbook has been set up as per CSI 16. As you can see in CSI 16, we already have a
predefined WE various, that is work
breakdown structure. You can see the entire model here has been
divided in 15 parts. And the items are
general requirements, site construction, concrete
men suddenly like this. Since we have selected CSA 16. So we have to work
on these items. Although if you want, you can add new items as well. Go to item catalog. And you can create a new group, a new item, you can delete, and you can do property
mapping as well. So let's try to take off
a particular element. How we are going to do it. Let's select this wall. So I can see from the properties that
this is a basic fall. Suppose to keep it
short and simple, let's try to find out quantity of this volt. What I have to do. In the quantification item
tab quantification workbook, I can assign this fall to
any of these category. Let's say I wanted to assign
this role to mesentery. So I'll select mesentery. I'll right-click on the wall. Inside the quantification. I'll select takeoff
to mesentery. Just in case if I want to take
off to a new item catalog, I can select the other options. So as often I have
selected mesentery, so I'll take off to mercenary. Now you can see that
exterior wall has been assigned to mesentery. Now, the quantities. Are shown here. For example, the WBS, the mesentery
was assigned as 04. So since I've assigned
another wall inside mentality that it
has became pseudo 4.104.1 is now my
exterior insulation wall. Inside it. Also, a new
WBS has been created, 04.1.1, which is giving me the object property
basic volume. Now let's see what parameters
it is showing to me. Modal length, mortal
width, model height. Now suppose you want to
see more properties. So right-click here
and choose columns. Now you can see,
you can select or deselect the properties
that you want to see. Like a status WBS object, viewpoint, mortar
length, weight count. Those things which
you don't want to see you can deselect from here. You can see that for
the selected item, many parameters
like length, width, thickness, height,
perimeter area. Now we can see if you
go to item catalog, then you can add
some description. You can also change
color. As of now. It is a little boundary. Suppose I want to change it red, so I select, Okay, now you see for
the selected item, McCullough has been changed. Now, I've taken a small
example of a wall. If you want to take off
quantities for more elements, you can just select
and in the similar way to a particular item
and then take it off. Now, the next thing, suppose I just want to export the quantity of this
fall into Excel format. So the right-hand side, you will find export
quantities to Excel. Export selected
quantities to Excel. Now since I want only
my WBS item 4.1, so I'll select Export
Selected quantities to Excel. Now it will ask me the part
where I want to save it. So I'll save it as new
quantity report underscore 01. And save. It is asking open
after exporting. Oh, yes. Now let's see what
all data it is given to us. It is mesentery inside mercenary
exterior insulation of mesentery object is
basic ball and you can see the WBS classification
as well for 4.14.1.1, length, width, I, modeled area, model volume, model,
weight, length, etc. You can find it here. Please note that the
first step you will see all data which is
linked to all further tabs. And it is linked
via pivot table. So that is all done
automatically. Funds your object
is taken off here. If you want to add
some items manually. If you do some corrections, you can use it in any way in
the Excel you want to do. We just saw how to
export quantities of a selected element
or multiple of elements in the
existing templates like CSI 1648 or uniformat. Now we will see how to export quantities as but
the selection tree, or you can say as per the file breakdown structure
inside Navisworks. For that again, quantification,
quantification workbook. And again, we have to
set up our project. So project setup. My
emulator. This time. Citizens, I don't want to
use any listed catalog. In fact, I want to use WBS S for my nervous
book selection tree, so I'll select none. Next. Metric is okay
for me to start, okay, for me Next and Finish. Now, if I select my
quantification workbook, then you will see this
node WBS, no items here. Why? Because I didn't select it any template.
I selected none. What I have to do now, I have to assign WBS off my
Navisworks to it. Now let's see how I will assign my existing model
to some catalog. Now you can see as it
is an enabler file. So three, NWC is architectural mechanical
structure appended to it. Now there can be two options. Whether I want to have quantities only for
one particular model or I want to have quantities
for all the models. Just in case suppose I want to have quantities only
for mechanical. So just select mechanical, right-click quantification, take off two new catalog item. Or if I want to extract
quantities for all. So just select all the models. Quantification, takeoff
to new catalog item. Yes. It will take some time. Now, you can see in the
quantification workbook, the WBS has been set up as
per your selection tree. You can see sample art project, sample mechanical project,
sampling structure project. And the Ws has been
assigned as 123. Suppose I go to sample
mechanical project, then you can see again the WBS. The WBS has been graded as
2.1 for a timeless 2.1.14 retelling Gil 2.1.1.14
standards to 0.1.11.1. So now, I hope it is clear
that when we're not using any, Please select a template
like CSI uniform it. Then we can assign
whole model to a new catalog and the WBS, his creator, as per our
selection tree in Navisworks. Further, I have hidden
architecture and mechanical. So now you can see they
structure model had been assigned different from where
these colors are coming. These colors are coming
from that item catalog. You can see from here,
this is this color. And if you want, as
I told previously, you can change colors
from here as well. So once any element or the complete model is added into the
quantification Workbook. New colors are being assigned
as per the item catalog. Now I unhide all the models. This is my complete model. Now the next, again, important parties
exporting it into the XL. Now we are going to take
off or the complete model. I'll export quantities to excel because I wanted to
come to export it completely. And let's say I will
select 0 to save. Yes. It will take
some time, obviously, because now it is exporting
quantities of a bigger model. Now my Excel is exported, so let's open it. Now you can see in
the WBS category, WBS fun, WBS to S3. So all three models, architecture, structural,
MEP have been exported. Now you can see for
each and every element, even 2D elements like grids. The parameters
like modal length, model with all these things
have been exploited. Now since this is an Excel, you can easily filter it. If you want to do some
manipulation of modification, you can easily do it here. Suppose I deselect all and I
just want to see item 1.1.1. Okay, so it is grids, SSDs, no assigned parameter to it. So let's go down further and try to seize some of the items
that are exploited here. Model, I will always
advise that not to export complete model
because it makes the Excel, it makes a quantity is
heavy. Only the part. For example, if you want
to have quantities of MEP, then extract the quantities
only for MAP and inside MAP2 if the various services like
fire protections, HVAC lighting, if you want to have say, quantities
of lighting. So just export lighting. You need not to export
complete model. For example, you can see
there's a group duct, then it is a rectangular duct. Item is metered elbows object, you can get length, get width. You can get height, area,
volume, everything. This is how you can
export the elements. Either you can select particular elements or you
can export it by your group, let's say architectural,
mechanical structure. Or you can export the quantities of
complete model as well. So today we have seen
the quantification, how to do Project Setup
in the CSA format. And then if we want to export as by the
WBS off Navisworks, then how to do it? That's all I have for today. Thanks for your time. Have a great day
ahead. Thank you.
10. 9. 4D Simulation / TimeLiner: Hello everyone. Here we are with the part nine of our Navisworks
training program. Today. We will discuss timely
manner and 42 dueling. Further, we will elaborate creating and adding tasks sets. What are the 40
simulation settings? Generating an
exporting simulations. 40 simulation in
Navisworks is one of the most interesting and
useful feature of Navisworks. 40 building
information modelling. There is also known as
4D BIM is a process to the intelligent
linking of a 3D model with time related information. For the planning is quite helpful to visualize
different constructions, scenarios and help in planning of construction activities
in a safe manner. It is very useful to allow all stakeholders to visualize
the construction phase. In a virtual environment. It is really, really
very helpful for presentations to a board meeting and to a high-level meeting. How this Navisworks
timeline or work. The Navisworks. We have
to go to Home tab, click on climb liner. And as we have learned in the previous lessons
that how to create sets. So based on that knowledge, we have to create sets. And we have to repeat
the process of creating sets for all the elements that are going to be
part of the simulation. After we are done
with creating sets. Then in the timeline window, We have to click on task
and we have to add task. Here. We have to
keep one thing in mind that we should always use the same name for the sets and the exactly same
name for the task. This will help us to automate a, automate the linking
of both tasks and set. As you can see in this picture, the set is 01, dark space 400, space dire pile. The same name I have
given to my task. We will see this when will
go to the Navisworks that if the names of the task
and the sets are same, then a lot of automation can be done in linking of both these. Then once we have
added the task, then the next thing is we have
to assign the plan dates, start dates, and plant and date. Then we have to
assign the task type, whether it is construction, whether it is demolition of
what kind of task it is. Then we have to attach the set which we
created here to the task. As I mentioned earlier, if we have the same name, then it can be done
automatically. We have to keep in mind that we have to
attach the sets in the sequence in accordance to
our construction sequence. So if our set naming and the task naming
our set as exactly same, then we can auto attach
using some rules. This will save our lot of time. Then finally, when we are done with dates and
attaching the task, attaching the sets to the tasks than just what the Simulate. Click on play. Your simulation
will start running. When you want to export that
simulation in movie format. You can just click
here to Export and the simulation
will be exported. So now we are inside
the Navisworks and we will see how to create sets, link them into the task, and run a simulation. In the Home tab, you
will find timeline. Once you click on time lender, their timeline
window will appear. But before that, we have to see how we have to create sets. So what I'll do, I'll first unhide all the
models or the model elements. This is our sample model on which we are working
for all our videos. So in the previous videos, you must have learned
how to create side. But again, I'll give
a quick glimpse. Set is basically a
group of elements. You can create sets
in multiple ways. Like you can find
items by giving some criterias and then you can save the selection. Simply. You can select some elements
and group them into a set. I'll just give you an
example, a quick example. Suppose these are my files. What I do, I select
by pressing control, let's say four piles. Pile gap. I want to save them as a set. In the Home tab. I'll just
click Save Selection. And I can rename, rename it as my requirements. Suppose I didn't name
it as I'll set one. Suppose I want to
make another set, let's say off my HVAC
units so I can select them all by pressing Control
or buy items such method. I can select it from the model itself or from the
selection tree. Now you can see I've
selected this overhead unit. Now I will save it as a set. So I can then add, I can rename it as
suppose rooftop unit. Enter. Now what is the
use of making sets? Once I've made a set, I've already made a set. Then once I click on that set, all those elements
will be highlighted. If I click on rooftop units, see the items on the rooftop unit on which I made a complete sets
are highlighted. In the same way. For this particular
model, I have made, already made some sites to save some time in
the video recording. So I have made these set in a sequence which is
roughly corresponding to my construction
sequence as well. So I'll show you
the 01400 diapers while the set of
all 400 diapers. Then after that will
be the pile cap. After that will be
the 500 data files. After that will
be 500 dire pile. So in this way, I have made sets in a sequence that is roughly corresponding to my construction sequence. In the same way,
like level three, level to proof level, I have made sets. These sets I made just
to demonstrate you. So we will delete those. Now, once we are done
with making sets. Now our next task is to add tasks in the timeline
window in the task, you can add tasks. So there are two methods
of adding tasks. One is the manual method, just click on Add task. It is active and you can
name it as you wish as well. Constructions, you
can select 01234. But my advice is to the name their tasks in exactly the same way in which
you have created the sets. So I'll create it as 01400. Dyer. Make sure that it
is exactly the same. Or else what you can do, you can just do the name, just copy it from here and
paste it there, there. You will be WE sure that
the name of sets and the tasks are exactly
same. In the same way. You can add all
the tasks here in the same manner in which the
assets have been created. This is the manual
way of doing it. Another way I showed you, so I will delete all these
selecting and leaked us. If you're already made sets, then you can easily automatically import
them into the task. How? There's an option here, or to add tasks.
I'll click on it. In the water will
find for every set, what I was sets I have made. I can automatically add
them into the tasks. So I'll click on for every set. Now you can see,
enlarge it a bit. Now you can see
that all the sets have been automatically
added to the task. You can do it manually by
typing it in the same sequence, or you can easily
import it from the sex. Another way of adding task
is from some data sources. I'll click on Data Sources. And as you can see, these days, most of the project planning is done through various
softwares like Primavera, Microsoft Project,
some CSV files. So if you have those things, you can also import
them as tasks. In the data sources,
you will click on Add. You will find all the
available options like Primavera P6 wasn't H7, Microsoft Project,
microsoft Project, MPN, CSP and board. You can even import a
CSV for adding dust. Then the next in line is
configured. In configure. We can set up the color
settings like for construction, it will appear as green. For demolition, it will
appear as transparencies, 90% for temporary works, it will appear as yellow. From here, you can change the color and
transparency, etc. There are a few
other settings as well which you can set up. Now again, we go to task. In task, what we have done, we have added names of the tasks which are same as the sex that
you have created. Now, the next thing to
do is to assign depths. Assigning direct means
when you are planning to start the task and when you
are planning to the task. By default, someday it
will take up some dates, but you have to assign the
actual plant and end dates. What I'll do for 400 pile cap, Let's say I started on end of January and it will go for one week till seventh,
17th of January. 400 diet pile cap
for 400 diet icecap. Let's say it starts on 17th
of January and it will go till 24th of January for
500 diet bile ducts, the star, let's say it's a
start on 24th of January, and it ends on the
31st of January. Similarly, for next task, we can assign 31 of January, and it ends on, let's say seventh afib. Just to make it easy, I'm just taking
our time duration of one-week between
plant and end. But you can take as
per your actual tasks. From here, I can go
from seven to 14. On level two, I go
from 14, let's say 21. Level three, I angle from 21. Next week, 284, last task, I move from 28 to seventh March. Now you can see I've assigned
dates down to start date and plant and date
for each of my task. Then this next step of actually
starting actual ended. What happens in
practical scenario that every time our planning, it does not go as far as you do. And there might be some
delay or some advancements. So here we can fill actually started and actual and date
of their particular tasks. As of now, I'm not filling it. Then the next thing
is task type. Each task, it can
be a construction, it can be a demolition, or it can be a temporary does. So for each of the things, I'm selecting the task type
S construction constraint. Then again, we
have created task. Now we have to attach
spective set to the task. So now we are going to
attach sets to the task. So as you can see, the task name is 0, one hundred
four hundred diet pile. So what I'll do, I'll
attach set and I will select from the existing sets which set I want to
attach to their tasks. So I attach 400 dire pile. And similarly the another way
of auto assigning this sets is to attach using
rules. I'll click on it. And the second options, it says map, Telenor, timeline or tasks
from column name to selection sets
with the same name. So whatever will do it, if I'll select Apply rules, it will select it will attach the sets to the
task having the same name. For example, my task
name is 01400 diet pile. So it will automatically attach the set with
the same name, that is 0, one hundred
four hundred DIA pile. You can attach it
automatic, automatically. If your sex name and the
task name our scene. If you're set's name
or task name or not, seem you can attach it. Manually body, just
right-clicking it. Attach set, the test set. You can select any of the set that corresponds
to your task. Now, we have assigned the dates, we have assigned the task type, and we have a test sets. We have already discussed
the data source. You can import various tasks from project
management programs. We can configure
based on the type, like it is construction,
demolition temporary. We can assign colors
and the transparency. Then finally stage is to
simulate whatever we have done in the Simulate tab before we are going to
play the animation, we have to check the settings. And you will click
on the Settings tab. It will show a few of the
options like it started, I can select a start
date, end date. I can select any ended, but make sure it is coming
after your last task. So I'll choose a test, 30th of March, sizing double percentage
playback duration. Let's make it. So now we're
done with all the settings. So let's play our simulation. It was a quick one. If you want to make a
detailed simulations. So in the same way, you have to increase
your number of sets in an actual project, the number of sets comes in a
very high range, let's say, above a 100 because, you know, in actual scenario, the construction progresses by face-to-face in small phases. So similarly, for
our actual project, you have to make a
large number of sets. And similarly, the number of tasks will also
be quite high. Then you have to link all
your tasks in the sets. You have to do the settings. How long do you want
to do the animation? What would the size
interval in terms of percentage and whether
you want to see planned, planned versus
actual requirements. You have to set the
start and end date, okay, and then play. Finally, once your
simulation is done, the next thing you
want to do is to export into in a WAV format. Here's the button,
exported animation. It will ask you some
basic option, viewport, EVA, aspect ratio,
frame per second, okay? No animations are defined. Why? Because it is our timeline assimilation
not animator seems so I'll select
timeline simulation. Okay? Then it will ask me
where I wanted to save. I save it here and Save. Depending on the size
of your animation, it will take some time. Once it is exported. Let's go back and see the
actual exported file. This is the file which
has been exported. So let's play it. You can see the timing, the day, the weeks are being displayed here S for the construction
sequence that we have placed. One more thing to add
here in the Task tab. If you know that total cost that your particular task
is going to take, then you can also add cost
here in the simulation. In the left-hand side, lower left corner, it will
also display the cost. So for each task, you can also assign cost
in the same column. Then it will be displayed
in the simulation to. Today we have learned very interesting
feature of Navisworks, that is, for the simulation
or their timeline. Hope you have lagged
this video and all other videos in this
Navisworks training program. Thanks for your time.
Have a great day ahead. Thank you very much.
