Real-time Collaboration between Navisworks and BIM 360 Glues

Real-time Collaboration between Navisworks and BIM 360 Glues

Introduction

Navisworks BIM 360 integration is something you would like to learn about. You can access the most recent project data through the integrated BIM 360 Navisworks solutions in the cloud or through the Desktop Connector. Navisworks provides BIM 360 workflows, tools, data, and workflow analysis to simplify workflows and streamline tasks. With Navisworks, BIM collaboration in the cloud has taken a giant leap forward. As a result of the new BIM 360 Glue model and data interoperability, Navisworks offers you a more comprehensive, integrated approach to BIM project coordination and collaboration. BIM 360 Glue combines the power of Navisworks with the ease of collaboration and accessibility offered by Navisworks.

Describe how BIM 360 Glue and Navisworks integrate to support your project and team workflows

  1. BIM 360 Glue is a way Navisworks users can coordinate their NWD models with their colleagues.
  2. VDC/BIM specialists have access to BIM 360 Glue models to perform advanced analysis in Navisworks.

Navisworks-BIM 360 Glue interoperability takes the next step and is now completely rethought in the new release from Autodesk. Navisworks users can connect to the BIM 360 cloud, access BIM 360 Glue models, merge models, and share data with other users of the project.

Working Procedure

BIM 360 Glue project models can be opened, appended, aligned, and saved as merged models in Navisworks. Neither uploading nor publishing is being done here. The merged model is immediately available in the cloud as soon as it is saved in Navisworks, which can use to review, collaborate, and coordinate project workflows using BIM 360 Glue.

The enhanced quantification features in Navisworks can also use to analyze models from BIM 360 Glue. After saving your work, you will access your data via BIM 360 Glue for other Navisworks users.

Imagine the new process as something similar to using Evernote. Once you've saved changes in Ever-note, the web version of the document updates automatically. Users find the process seamless, and the distinction between the desktop and the cloud is hardly noticeable.

Navisworks Manage and BIM 360 Glue model interoperability happen seamlessly, just as it did with Ever-note.

The Converging Strengths of Navisworks and BIM 360 Glues

Navisworks and BIM 360 Glue connect to the same project data via a cloud-based, desktop, and mobile solution. Despite this, each product has distinct strengths that meet the needs of different participants.

Consider the comparison of these two products as follow:

  1. BIM 360 Glue is a cloud-based coordination and collaboration tool that integrates the whole project team internally and externally and streamlines project review and coordination workflows.
  2. With Navisworks, you can conduct advanced clash detection, quantification, 4D and 5D construction simulation, and 4D and 5D analysis of your BIM projects.

Sharing Views

Any BIM 360 client connected to the internet can create a shared view that can use in workflows, such as clash and coordination reviews. Object visibility, hiding, overrides, colors, and transparency, as well as section planes and boxes, would all remain intact in these views.

Conclusion

Navisworks Manage remains the favorite tool for BIM and VDC professionals who work within collaborative environments, as it allows for advanced analysis, such as detection of clashes, take-off data integration, and construction simulation. The innovative features of BIM 360 Glue empower the extended team by enabling designers, subcontractors, and fabricators to coordinate and collaborate seamlessly in real-time. Coordinating on a weekly or biweekly basis becomes easier and more productive due to this accelerated cycle.
