Features

Improved Revit Interoperability
Interoperability enhancements help to increase your productivity when working with Autodesk® Revit® software products and Navisworks.

• Read native .RVT files directly within Navisworks and utilize the Navisworks Batch Utility automation toolset.
• Organize model components using the Revit hierarchy of Category, Family, Type, and Instance.
• Import Revit gridlines and levels into Navisworks when you visualize and analyze your projects.

TimeLiner Enhancements
Gain greater control and flexibility when creating 5D simulations.

• Add cost data to your project schedule to simulate, visualize, and better understand accumulated costs during construction.
• Drag and drop objects and selection sets onto your schedule to quickly and easily create associations between the model and tasks.
• Add and edit parent and child tasks in the TimeLiner hierarchy for greater flexibility when creating and maintaining your project schedule.
• Export to ProjectXML to support interoperability with common scheduling applications, such as Primavera and Microsoft® Project software.

Clash Detection Enhancements
Clash detection enhancements enable better support management and resolution of project clashes.

• Group and filter clashes using level and grid location.
• Improved filtering and sorting tools to better manage large volumes of clashes.
• Extend and tailor the clash toolset to help meet your project and business requirements with the new Clash Detective API (application programming interface).
• A new Clash Detective interface for better accessibility and discoverability of clash features.

New Grid and Level Support
Use grids and levels imported from your design application to visualize, analyze, and coordinate your project.

• Import multiple grids and levels from Revit software products and select the grid system you want to use for your review session.
• Use the grid navigation and orientation toolset when undertaking real-time walk-throughs of models.
• Sort, group, and report clashes found during coordination by grid location and level.

Additional Construction Project Review Enhancements

• Use the new Selection Inspector to quickly list, report, and export selected objects and properties you define.
• Enhanced integration with Autodesk® Vault software for project data management, including Vault project browser, extended file format support, advanced search, and document status.
• Additional features in Navisworks Freedom include sectioning and embedded Datatools properties.
• Autodesk RapidRT rendering and improved Autodesk Consistent Materials support.
