BIM, Integrated Design, IPD, 3D Modeling, VDC, Autodesk® Revit® and Autodesk® Navisworks…what does it all mean?

By Tracy Fisher, Hagerman & Company, Inc.


There are many products that support a BIM workflow, including Autodesk® Revit® and Autodesk® Navisworks. Autodesk® Revit® has three industry specific applications… Autodesk® Revit® Architecture, Autodesk® Revit® Structure and Autodesk® Revit® MEP Suite. Autodesk® Navisworks has several offerings as well… Autodesk® Navisworks Freedom, Autodesk® Navisworks Review, Autodesk® Navisworks Simulate and Autodesk® Navisworks Manage.

Autodesk® Revit® is a 3D modeling software used to create a building information model. Autodesk® Navisworks Manage is a tool used for importing all the project models, regardless of format, into one model to check for collisions and determine construction scheduling.

Using both Autodesk® Revit® and Autodesk® Navisworks allows for better coordination of disciplines throughout the project lifetime. Fewer errors are encountered which leads to better alignment with scope and budget. Autodesk® Revit® allows more time to be spent on design and less time on tedious tasks, like creating construction documents. Better communication of the content to the client is achieved by using an Autodesk® Revit® and Autodesk® Navisworks BIM workflow, not to mention the ability to make more informed decisions quickly. Both also give you a marketing edge against the competition.
