About the Book
Practical Guide to Autodesk Navisworks is a hands-on guide for anyone who wants to learn and use Autodesk Navisworks effectively, from students and beginners to experienced professionals.
The guide takes a practical, workflow-based approach to Navisworks Manage, covering the process from preparing and federating models through selection and search, clash detection, viewpoints, review workflows, 4D construction simulation and 5D workflows.
It is designed to help readers understand not only what the tools do, but how they can be used together in practical BIM and construction workflows.
Whether you are a student learning Navisworks, a beginner developing your BIM skills, a professional using the software on projects, or simply interested in understanding what Navisworks can do, the guide provides a structured way to learn and explore the software.
Alongside the main chapters, the guide includes workspace reference material, troubleshooting guidance, a coordination quick reference and a glossary, making it useful both for learning and as a reference when working with the software.
Based on Autodesk Navisworks Manage 2027, this guide is designed to take you from understanding the software to applying it in practical workflows.
