Session 3.2
Navisworks? ACC Clash Module? ACC Issues module? Which do I want to use?
Synopsis:
Navisworks is a powerful program that can be cumbersome to use. Contractors have become masters, while most AEC firms struggle to find individuals to learn and master its use. There must be an easier-to-use, faster-to-create, and more up to date way. The ACC Clash and Issues modules provide that now.
Learning Objectives:
1. Participants will be shown lessons learned from creating one for the first time.
2. Participants will learn one way to set up and use.
3. Participants will be given a brief overview of the differences between Navisworks.
4. Participants will start thinking about new and future uses.
Body:
Navisworks is a powerful program that can be cumbersome to use. Contractors have become masters, while most AEC firms struggle to find individuals to learn and master its use. Navisworks can do so much more than what the architects and engineers need to be done. Yet, for years it was the only path to clash detection. At best, architects could see the clashes and create reports which were used to go to the model to fix the issues. For the savvy firms, there was a way to get issues to show in Revit. Even then there was no way to assign and track the issues. Architects have no guarantee that engineers were picking up the information. Navisworks also requires you to export a stand-alone “dead” file. There must be an easier-to-use, faster-to-create, and more up-to-date way. This class will explore the ACC’s clash and Issues creations modules. Participants will be shown one way to set up and use the process. You will learn how to use it as “live” clash detection. Participants will also be learning how to use the Issues module both for tracking issues inside of Revit and outside of Revit. They will learn to use it for assigning and tracking issues and also a way to use the Issues to track proposed changes in prototypes. We will briefly compare the differences between the ACC modules and Navisworks. At the end of the session, we will start thinking of new and future uses for these modules.
