Navistools 2020.1

Navistools is a suite of add-ins that extends Autodesk Navisworks with practical tools for model coordination, data management, and reporting. It helps project teams turn federated models into actionable information by streamlining issue tracking, standardizing model data, and automating routine review tasks—directly inside the Navisworks environment.

Key capabilities:

• Issue management: capture, assign, and track coordination issues with viewpoints, statuses, and BCF import/export for cross-platform workflows.
• Data enrichment: connect models to external data (such as spreadsheets or databases) to populate, validate, and query properties at scale.
• Selection and property automation: build reusable selection sets, apply property templates, and perform batch operations to keep models consistent.
• Quantity and reporting: extract takeoffs and generate customizable reports to Excel or other formats for progress, clashes, and model health.
• Coordination support: accelerate clash review and model checking with rule-based filters, grouping, and guided navigation.
• Workflow integration: link model elements to work breakdowns or codes to support 4D/5D-style planning and downstream handover.

Who it’s for:

• BIM/VDC managers and coordinators who need consistent, data-rich Navisworks workflows.
• Estimators, planners, and project engineers who rely on structured selections, takeoffs, and repeatable reports.
• Owners and facility teams preparing data for handover and ongoing asset management.

Benefits:

• Saves time by automating repetitive Navisworks tasks.
• Improves model consistency and data quality.
• Enhances collaboration through standardized issue exchange and clear reporting.
• Bridges the gap between design models and construction/facility workflows.

Designed for teams working with Autodesk Navisworks on Windows, Navistools adds the data and process rigor needed to move from model viewing to measurable project outcomes.
