Experience the whole project,
before it’s real.


Autodesk NavisWorks software consists of four products to help you and your extended teams experience enhanced control, confident collaboration, and reliable information aggregation on even your most complex projects.

By combining the high-quality information created by BIM applications such as Revit®-based software with geometry and data from other design tools, Autodesk NavisWorks products enable a real-time, whole-project view for effective 3D coordination, 4D planning, photorealistic visualization, dynamic simulation, and accurate analysis.


Work Together, Surge Ahead

Autodesk NavisWorks software solutions enable project design and building professionals to unite their contributions into a single, synchronized building information model.


Navisworks Manage
Autodesk® NavisWorks® Manage


Autodesk® NavisWorks® Manage software is a powerful solution for design and construction management professionals, providing control and peace of mind for advanced analysis and coordination of 3D models. Design data created in building information modeling (BIM) applications such as the Revit® family of products can be combined with geometry and information from other design tools and reviewed as an entire project, regardless of file size or format. Early fault prediction and error recognition help prevent later, more costly, miscalculations. NavisWorks Manage combines precise fault-finding analysis of interferences together with dynamic 4D simulation of project schedules and photorealistic visualization.


Coordinated, Complete, Correct

Integrating the functionality of both Autodesk NavisWorks Review and Autodesk NavisWorks Simulate with powerful clash detection capabilities, Autodesk NavisWorks Manage provides the most complete NavisWorks design review solution for your construction project. Enabling consistent, coordinated, and, most important, correct construction documentation, NavisWorks Manage streamlines workflow across your organization and extended teams, helping to reduce waste, increase efficiency, and significantly reduce change orders.

Use NavisWorks Manage to navigate and explore your designs faster, without the need for preprogrammed animation, advanced hardware, or special skills.

Through effective identification, inspection, and reporting of potential interferences in a 3D project model, NavisWorks Manage reduces error-prone manual checking. NavisWorks Manage enables users to check time and space coordination, improving site and workflow planning. Control and peace of mind are enhanced through advanced analysis and coordination of 3D designs. Early fault prediction and error recognition help to prevent eventual, more costly, miscalculations. Combine all your 3D data, no matter what file size or format, into a comprehensive, realistic building information model for viewing and analyzing all digital information.

Autodesk NavisWorks Manage combines precise fault-finding with hard, soft, clearance, and time-based clash management. Quickly review and cross-check geometry created by competing 3D design software. Maintain a complete and valuable record of all interferences found throughout your project.Check for time and space coordination and virtually eliminate workflow issues at the planning stage. Point- and line-based clashing enable coordination of a laser-scanned as-built environment with the virtual model.




Navisworks SimulateAutodesk® NavisWorks® Simulate

Autodesk® NavisWorks® Simulate
software adds the power of 4D analysis and photorealism to Autodesk® NavisWorks® Review software. Design professionals can create clear, descriptive content that helps demonstrate design intent and validate decisions. 3D design data created in building information modeling (BIM) applications such as the Revit® family of products can be combined, regardless of size, with geometry and information created using other design tools, emulating real-life experiences and the project construction process. Entire projects can be replicated with dynamic, photorealistic visualizations and 4D construction schedules to demonstrate design-and-build options. Project models can be published in NWD and DWF™ formats for free viewing.


Where Design Meets Deadline

Autodesk NavisWorks Simulate software significantly enhances the real-time visualization capabilities of Autodesk NavisWorks Review with easier creation of images and animations, as well as dynamic linking of 3D models to project schedules. NavisWorks Simulate helps design and building professionals share and combine output for creation of clear, descriptive content that demonstrates design intent, validates decisions, and authenticates schedules. Accessible building information models emulate real-life experiences and project construction at any time in the process.

NavisWorks Simulate enables you to quickly apply or read textures, materials, and lights to or from existing 3D models. You can also apply RPC content to your existing models.

NavisWorks Simulate enables project stakeholders to see the future results of their work through interactive, realistic renderings and walk-throughs. 4D simulations and object animations simulate design intent, stimulate design ideas, and enable exploration of every design possibility. What’s more, the software enables smooth, shared review at every stage of the creative process, helping to reduce errors, enhance quality, and save time and money. Simulation in 4D enables better planning and helps identify risk at the earliest possible stage, significantly reducing waste. By providing a clear, common understanding of design intent, construction plans, and current project status,

NavisWorks Simulate demonstrates construction schedules by linking 3D model data to project schedules for fast 4D visualization. NavisWorks Simulate enables more complete emulation of the appearance and construction of your project. Experiencing your project before it is real, at any time in the process, makes for more accurate planning and less guesswork.
