A few things that should be considered by Navisworks users during clash detection

Navisworks is a great contribution of Autodesk for design and construction professionals which can thoroughly review and examine 3D models developed for representing the design of different building disciplines. Prior to the presence of Navisworks there was no such software that had the potential to examine even the integrated 3D models which are developed by coordinating all the multidiscipline models. This software is purposely designed by Autodesk to sort out the problems of design and construction professionals when it comes to improving their accuracy by identifying design inconsistencies between them.

Apart from helping in identifying clashes between model elements it is also used by AEC professionals for developing simulation videos that are used for showing step by step method of construction. Simulation videos are extremely crucial for design and construction professionals for keeping themselves aware about the step by step construction process.

Now coming to the point, what are those things that should be remembered by Navisworks users when they execute clash detection services in Navisworks? There are quite a few things that should be taken seriously by users for accomplishing clash detection services. The first thing would be creating viewpoints which incorporate comments, measurements and markups etc that are very necessary for users to understand the technicalities of clashes. Without creating viewpoints Navisworks users won’t be able to deal properly with clashes identified during the process.  Without the assistance of markups and comments Navisworks users would find it difficult to sort out the clashes. Viewpoints must be organized systematically or into sensible hierarchies so that effective workflow can be created for the rectification of clashes. Navisworks users must understand the gravity of the clashes in relation to their ability to harm or affect the project in question. Navisworks must have clarity about hard clashes and soft clashes and they should be provided with appropriate solutions depending upon their seriousness. But it doesn’t indicate that soft clashes should not be rectified instead it means that hard clashes should be given the priority since they can have adverse effect on the project.

And finally the results of clash tests must be studied properly by the users and it is mandatory for them to organize the results properly so that appropriate solutions can be provided for them.
