NavisWorks Courses Wales

With NavisWorks building designers and collaborators can unite 3D models and Building Information Model (BIM) data to create a cohesive model for virtual design and construction projects.

With this building model you can create rendered visualisations that are static or animated. Scan the model for conflicts with clash detection.

You can also use the model for 4D planning and analysis, which accounts for time during the building project. Here you can cycle through the building project from start to finish.

After completing this course, delegates will be able to confidently use NavisWorks, Animator, Clash Detective, Presenter, Scripter, and TimeLiner tools to create, analyse, and animate models for coordinating designs across a variety of construction disciplines.
