AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
  • Users report that Navisworks excels in Clash Detection, with a high rating of 9.3, indicating its effectiveness in identifying conflicts in designs, which is crucial for construction projects. In contrast, SolidWorks Electrical 3D also scores 9.3 in this area, but users mention that its overall integration with electrical design tools enhances its utility in specific scenarios.
  • Reviewers mention that SolidWorks Electrical 3D shines in Drawing and Editing, both rated at 9.2, making it a preferred choice for users focused on detailed electrical schematics. Navisworks, however, has a lower rating of 7.1 for Drawing, which suggests it may not be as robust for users needing extensive drawing capabilities.
  • G2 users highlight that SolidWorks Electrical 3D offers superior Document Storage capabilities, rated at 9.2, which allows for better organization and retrieval of project documents. Navisworks, with a score of 7.9, may not provide the same level of efficiency in document management.
  • Users on G2 report that Navisworks has a slight edge in Visualizing with a score of 9.0, which is essential for project presentations and stakeholder engagement. SolidWorks Electrical 3D, while slightly higher at 9.2, is noted for its ability to create more detailed visual representations of electrical systems.
  • Reviewers mention that both products perform well in File Import/Export, with SolidWorks Electrical 3D scoring 9.1 compared to Navisworks' 8.8. However, users report that SolidWorks offers a more seamless experience when integrating with other CAD tools, which is a significant advantage for users working in multi-software environments.
  • Users say that while Navisworks has a solid rating for Dynamic Updating at 8.2, SolidWorks Electrical 3D outperforms it with a score of 8.7, indicating that users find it easier to manage changes in real-time, which is critical in fast-paced project environments.

If you are not using for just a simple walk though the program can be touchy and glitch-y and just not fun to work with

I think it is very difficult to create a complex electrical design through this. Some times you can feel issue due to software glitch. You have to understand the basic command to run the software.
