Overview
This course provides comprehensive NavisWorks training for beginners, focusing on combining 3D models from various disciplines into one scene for effective review and analysis. It covers generating visual project model reviews, construction simulations, interactive animations, adding materials and lighting, and clash detection. Ideal for new NavisWorks users, the training is tailored to individual project models. The course spans two days and is most effective when provided on-request or as a closed group session, rather than in scheduled public courses.
Who should attend
New users of NavisWorks Manage or NavisWorks Simulate.

Key details
Comprehensive NavisWorks training for newcomers, teaching how to combine 3D models from cross disciplines into one scene, enabling effective review and analysis.
Sessions include:
- Generating visual project model reviews.
- The TimeLiner – creating construction simulations of project models to check the validity of schedules.
- Using the Animator and Scripter features to create interactive animations.
- Using the Presenter, adding true-to-life materials, lighting and backgrounds to project models.
- Clash detection.
This course is ideal for new users of NavisWorks Manage or NavisWorks Simulate.
NavisWorks training is most effective when it’s provided ‘on-request’, i.e. one-to-one training or a ‘closed’ course for your group. Rather than just teach you generic techniques, we can base the training on your project models, showing you specifically the work you need to do. For this reason, we don’t offer scheduled (public) NavisWorks courses.
