Navisworks Pros and Cons

It's a flexible tool, that can integrarte mmultiple extensions at he same time, it helps detect clashes between various disciplines and softwares, as it is easy to you use, it helps visualsing and preventing damages to the construction at early phases of the life cycle of the construction, and it's easy to install to the pc or laptop, and it's fairly used by companies, and we use frequentley during our meeting because it helps cummunicating and support our client during the exucution phase or study phase of the project.

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.

The navisworks is the best for the Co-ordinate purpose and it is very easy to use and once you know all the feature you will good to go.

It's great that Navisworks' high-quality simulation capabilities allow us to find creative solutions to any conflicts between project systems, and we can accurately identify appropriate new paths. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. It makes it difficult for you to understand what the genuine issue is, only that something turned out badly, or something was erased for no great explanation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It seems somewhat difficult to implement from the start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Navisworks is very handy in finding clashes inside a 3D construction project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Information about parts does not transfer from a 3D model into Navis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mainly used for clash detection in the Industry. Helpful in finding clashesh of BIM model exported from Revit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some limit of softwere and not produce realistic walkthrough. It should be better in 4d simulation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

it's quick, doesn't lag and helps me find clashes with multiple BIM models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is not a lot of innovation, the program has been basically the same over the last few years. Would love to see more intuitive grouping of clashing for example. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing that I like about Navisworks is that it is very easy to learn and its highly optimised so my pc soesn't lags while using it. Comparatively to other softwares it does the job swiftly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While most of the features are quick, easy to use and visible advanced features take a lotta time to master and very hard to learn and even if you see someone doing something it is very hard to replicate the same method. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
