Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Navisworks?

There is few negatives but once we create a NWD file it becomes hard to delete unwanted models, for example itf we updated a model we need to create a new NWD file with all the old models plus the model that was updated the latest, and it can add up unneccessary time wasted on one file that could updated by 2 clicks instead of going through the whole process of intergrating models that most of time are very large files that needs time to be imported. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It helps communicate between different softwares, creating a whole model with different disciplines getting a model ready to be delivered to be employed with no errors as all the rapports from Naivs works helps professionals create plans to prevent the problems found.

While appending heavy IFC files and DWG files Navisworks takes get stuck and takes time which is very irritating. If we need to navigated to a particular element we have to do it manually.

What do you like best about Navisworks?

For beginners, Naviswork is enough. We can find every data (Coordinate, Dimensions, Sections, etc...). Compared to the Cadmatic browser there is no free version and paid version. Everything is free... Easy to install. Easy to use tree and navigation also to easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Navisworks?

The color appearance is not real, and that's not good. Everything is basic colors. Looks crappy. If I extract the model to Navisfreedom, when reviewing time some welding joints cannot appear in the 3D model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Navisworks solving and how is that benefiting you?

Naviswork is free and easy to use. That is only the advantage. If someone uses Cadmatic e-browser, who cannot go back to navisfreedom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
