Welcome to Our Navisworks for Beginners Course

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

By the end of this course You will

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

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

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

To get started You will need …

To participate in the course and complete the challenges you will need Navisworks Simulate installed on your windows PC.  If You don’t have the application, you can download a trial version from the Autodesk website.

  1. Hi, 
    I am Jaydan and would like to explore beyond Revit modelling, specifically on how Navisworks can help to bring BIM implementation further.

  2. Hi, I would like to introduce myself, My Name is Parvez, I am working as a mechanical draftsman in Doha, Qatar. I’m very excited with this initiative to explore the modules through Navisworks. It should be very interesting.

  3. My Name is Mohamed Othman, an Electrical Engineer in Limak Insaat, Kuwait.
    I am working in the new terminal building in Kuwait airport and I am very interested to start this Navisworks course

  4. Hi, I am doing BIM project right now. Just want to explore what kind of tools that market use for the BIM project to do coordination and clash detection. Besides that, wish to share and learn in the community. Thanks
