5.3. Guideline For Navisworks Manage (4D Simulation)

This document provides instructions for creating a 4D simulation in Navisworks using a Revit model, MS Project schedule, and the following steps: 1. Export the Revit model to IFC format and import into Navisworks. 2. Import the MS Project schedule file into Navisworks and rebuild the task hierarchy. 3. Link elements from the 3D model to tasks in the schedule using the selection tree or 3D view. 4. Animate the 4D simulation by playing it back in Navisworks. 5. Export the animation, such as in AVI format. Tips are also provided for saving Navisworks files.

Tips for saving files

Two ways to save your NavisWorks files (.nwd and .nwf)


• .nwd: If you save your NavisWorks file with .nwd type, the file will
become the independent file, so you don’t need other reference files
(schedule file or/and original Revit model file) to re-open the file
• .nwf: If you save your NavisWorks file with .nwf type, you still need
reference files (schedule file or/and original Revit model file) to re-open
the fil
