Autodesk Navisworks Manage 

Coordinated, Consistent, Complete

Including all the functionality of both Autodesk 
Navisworks Review software and Autodesk 
Navisworks Simulate software with powerful 
clash detection capabilities, Autodesk 
Navisworks Manage software provides the 
most comprehensive Navisworks design 
review solution for your construction project. 
Enabling consistent, coordinated, and complete 
construction documentation, Navisworks Manage 
streamlines workflow across your organization 
and extended teams, helping to reduce waste, 
increase efficiency, and reduce change orders.

Navisworks Manage delivers real-time visualizations, 
enabling walk-through and exploration of complex 
3D models and all the project information they 
contain without the need for preprogrammed 
animation or advanced hardware.

Through effective identification, inspection, and 
reporting of potential interferences in a 3D project 
model, Navisworks Manage reduces error-prone 
manual checking. Navisworks Manage enables 
users to check time and space coordination, 
improving site and workflow planning. Control and 
peace of mind are enhanced through advanced 
analysis and coordination of 3D designs. Early fault 
prediction and error recognition help to prevent 
eventual, more costly, miscalculations. Combine 
3D data in multiple formats, no matter what 
file size, into a comprehensive, realistic building 
information model for viewing and analyzing all 
digital information.

Autodesk Navisworks Manage combines precise 
fault-finding with hard, soft, clearance, and time-
based clash management. Quickly review and 
cross-check geometry created by competing 3D 
design software. Maintain a complete and valuable 
record of all interferences found throughout your 
project. Check for time and space coordination 
and greatly reduce workflow issues at the  
planning stage. Point- and line-based clashing 
enable coordination of a laser-scanned as-built 
environment with the virtual model.

Autodesk Navisworks software solutions enable project 

design and building professionals to unite their contributions 

into a single, synchronized building model rich in information. 

Autodesk Navisworks Simulate

Where Design Meets Deadline

Autodesk Navisworks Simulate software significantly 
enhances the real-time visualization capabilities of 
Autodesk Navisworks Review with easier creation of 
images and animations, as well as dynamic linking of 
existing 3D models and project schedules. Navisworks 
Simulate helps design and building professionals share 
and combine output for creation of clear, descriptive 
content that demonstrates design intent, validates 
decisions, and authenticates schedules. 

At any time in the process, replicate entire 
projects through photorealistic visualizations and 
4D construction schedules that both demonstrate 
and explain design and build options. Navisworks 
Simulate enables you to quickly apply or read 
textures, materials, and lights to or from existing 
3D models. You can also apply RPC content to your 
existing models.

Navisworks Simulate enables project stakeholders 
to see the future results of their work through 
interactive, realistic renderings and walk-throughs. 
4D simulations and object animations simulate 
design intent, stimulate design ideas, and enable 
exploration of every design possibility. In addition, 
the software enables smooth, shared review at every 
stage of the creative process, helping to reduce 
errors, enhance quality, and save time and money.

Simulation in 4D enables better planning and 
helps identify risk at the earliest possible 
stage, reducing potential waste. By providing a 
clear, common understanding of design intent, 
construction plans, and current project status, 
Navisworks Simulate demonstrates construction 
schedules by linking 3D model data to project 
schedules for fast 4D visualization.

Navisworks Simulate enables more complete 
emulation of the appearance and construction 
of your project. Experiencing your project before 
it is real, at any time in the process, makes for 
more accurate planning and less guesswork.

Autodesk Navisworks Review

Visualize, Explore, Experience

Autodesk Navisworks Review software extends 
access to existing design data to enable real-time 
visualization, exploration, and experience of 3D 
projects before they are real. Accessible building 
information models enable project stakeholders to 
focus and collaborate more effectively, and provide 
valuable information after the designing and 
building is over. Dynamic navigation and an intuitive 
project review toolkit improve understanding of 
even the most complex 3D models. 

Compatible with most major 3D design and laser 
scan formats, Navisworks Review can quickly 
combine 3D files into one shared virtual model, 
enabling stakeholders to review geometry, object 
information, and linked ODBC databases. Collision 
detection, gravity, and a third-person view further 
improve the realism of the Navisworks Review 
experience. Quickly create and output animation 
and viewpoints into still pictures or movie formats. 
Cross-sectioning, markup, measurement, and text 
overlay capabilities are also available, together 
with the ability to play back content created in 
Autodesk Navisworks Simulate. 

Autodesk Navisworks Freedom

Freedom to View

All simulations and output saved in NWD format 
using Navisworks Review, Navisworks Simulate, 
or Navisworks Manage can be viewed with 
Autodesk Navisworks Freedom, the free* viewer 
that works just like it sounds. Navisworks Freedom 
offers design professionals an invaluable means 
of communication with compressed, secure, and 
streamable project review files in NWD format. 
A practical solution to streaming large CAD 
models, NWD files require no model preparation, 
third-party server hosting, setup time, or ongoing 
costs. Files may also be viewed in 3D DWF format. 
Effective collaboration is achieved through easier 
communication of design intent, collaborative 
reviews of stakeholder contributions, and sharing 
of all results.
