Navisworks


Navisworks is a 3D design review package for Microsoft Windows.
Used primarily in construction industries to complement 3D design packages, Navisworks allows users to open and combine 3D models; navigate around them in real-time ; and review the model using a set of tools including comments, redlining, viewpoint, and measurements. A selection of plug-ins enhances the package adding interference detection, 4D time simulation, photorealistic rendering and PDF-like publishing.
