BIM for Civil Engineers and Construction Professionals

Learn Navisworks from Revit export and model review to quantification, TimeLiner scheduling, animation, and clash detection for BIM and construction teams.

<h2>About this course</h2>In this course, you start in Revit, preparing BIM models for Navisworks. You learn worksharing best practices, get the Navisworks NWC Export Utility, and choose the right export settings. You then learn the Navisworks versions and interface tabs, open different file types, navigate the model, compare Append with Merge, and export with the Batch Utility.Model review follows: you create sets, add comments, save and update viewpoints, use camera controls, render styles, and sectioning tools, then save your project as an NWF file. In the Revit collaboration section, you update models from Revit, take point-to-point and other measurements, convert them into markups, add tags and comments, and retain markups after a Revit update.Quantification covers workbooks, resource breakdown structures, model versus virtual takeoff, handling BIM changes, and exporting to Excel and XML for Primavera P6. With TimeLiner, you create tasks manually and with Auto TimeLiner, link external data sources, add cost, and configure and export schedules and simulations.You then record animations using the Animator, TimeLiner, and quantification color codes, run Clash Detective and generate clash reports, assign materials with the Autodesk Rendering tool, and finish by rendering and outputting an NWD file. Each section closes with a quiz.<h2>Who should take this course</h2>This course is for you if you work with Revit models and need to review, coordinate, or schedule them in Navisworks. It suits BIM coordinators and modelers, architects and engineers checking clashes, quantity surveyors and estimators running takeoffs for Excel or Primavera P6, and construction planners linking schedules to TimeLiner simulations. It also fits Revit users who are opening Navisworks for the first time and want a structured, step-by-step path from export to clash report.<h2>Prerequisites</h2>The course is rated easy and requires no prior Navisworks experience. Familiarity with Revit helps, since the first section works with Revit projects and exports. You will need Navisworks installed, plus Revit to follow the export and collaboration lessons.
