Follow the tips if you are having issues while exporting Revit files in Navisworks

Quite often problems are faced by Revit users while they export their Revit files into Navisworks. Revit users come across with such problems especially when they export large and bulky files into Navisworks. The only option for tacking this issue is that, Revit users should properly clean up the files that are generated in Revit before exporting them to Navisworks.

Follow the following steps for properly exporting Revit files to Navisworks.

Create a new view in Revit:  The first and most important step that should be followed by Revit users is to create an entirely new view for Navisworks in Revit. After creating the new view, Revit users should close all the unwanted and unnecessary things which may include Lines and along with other details, by going to the visibility overrides of the view. The things closed by the users are those that will not be required by them while they work on Navisworks. In other words such things which will not be required by users while they execute clash detection services in Navisworks should be switched off by the users.

Save the view as template: Once the new view is successfully created by the users it must be saved as a template for further use. Whenever Revit users want to export this view to Navisworks, they should first go to ‘exports’ and from there select ‘current files by going to the settings.

Check your Navisworks export settings: After following the above step, it is recommended to then check out your Navisworks export settings for unnecessary files. If in case you have any unwanted files or URL links it is suggested to delete them immediately. The files should be deleted, only if they are not required by you in the project. In other words Revit users should carefully analyze every file that they are going to delete, it shouldn’t be a file that may be required by them in the project. For deleting the files Revit users should utilize ‘Purge Unused’ button.

After following the above mentioned tips, I am hopeful that you will not face problems any more.

BIM Execution Plan and Its Importance for Construction Companies

Image
Overview The advent of BIM Modeling into the construction industry has prevailed the implementation of BIM Execution Plan to enhance the right flow of work to execute the project successfully. It can be analysis and execution during various phases of the project. What is BIM Execution Plan? BIM Execution Plan is a complex and detailed document that helps the project team to identify and execute the role of BIM in various phases of construction in the project. BEP needs to be accurate to make the teams keep on track by focusing on details, saving on time and reduces rework. BEP is primarily used when there is a higher level of complexity and project size is huge. It lays an overall plan with details as to how the process will be executed. It is the process of creating a digital model of building or structures to aid collaboration among people involved in the project. BEP Comprises of type of information as followed: •     How to create data in BIM fil...

Overview Construction scheduling in project management is about recording project benchmarks, outputs, start and end date of a predetermined building project. 4D BIM that caters to Construction Scheduling is also known as Construction sequencing. It includes project drafting and project extraction arrangement for every project management. Construction Scheduling is vital for the construction as labor force, equipment and other related activities require effective organizing and scheduling of construction activities. It helps in knowing the time to accomplish the project and streamline the cost estimation factor for all the construction professionals. Construction scheduling techniques of projects Several techniques help the contractor to keep construction scheduling of the project. Aiding in project requirement assessment and overcome challenges of the project schedule. Bar Charts: It is considered as one of the most common technique to generate construction schedul...

BIM modeling services: Which software solutions can be used for developing 3D parametric models?

Building Information Modeling technology is closely related to the development of 3D parametric models for architecture, structure and MEP, which are effectively packed with all the essential information pertaining to design and construction. Building Information Modeling services have become the cardinal requirement for architects and engineers when it comes to the flawless execution of building projects.  Building Information Modeling services are not only important for design and construction professionals but also for building owners, construction managers and fabricators etc.  BIM is the process of developing the entire building in virtual world through high-end Building Information Modeling applications like Revit Architecture, Revit Structure and Revit MEP. All these BIM applications are used for developing the entire building in 3D. Actually the design of every building discipline is separately represented through 3D parametric models which are generat...
