Scientific log of a computational chemist – "Make like a molecule and React!"

A clash that has been looked at but not yet resolved.

The software opens and combines dozens of native file formats, making it highly interoperable. It utilizes three primary file types:

How does a typical project use Navisworks Manage? Let’s walk through a 5-step life cycle.

Once detected, clashes can be assigned, tracked, and managed until they are resolved in the original design software (e.g., Revit). 2. Model Aggregation and Navigation

Open files for active coordination work, as they reference live, updating design files.

Instead of selecting elements manually, advanced users create based on object properties (e.g., all pipes larger than 2 inches, or all structural framing on Level 3). Search sets make clash detection dynamic; as models update, the search sets update automatically. Step 4: Running Clash Detection and Grouping

Use the tool to bring models together at shared coordinates.

Integrates with Microsoft Project or Primavera P6 to animate the construction sequence visually.
