Navisworks Simulate 2025 – Subscription Autodesk

• Detect clashes and coordinate models (NAVISWORKS MANAGE ONLY) – View clashes in context with the Navisworks Clash Detective. Audit, inspect, and report interferences (clashes) in a 3D project model, with issues integration into the Autodesk Construction Cloud, Revit, and more.
• Coordination Issues integration – Quickly identify and resolve costly constructability issues. View, create, and respond to issues on models in Model Coordination, in both Autodesk Construction Cloud and Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro.
• Updated IFC file reader – Use the same open-source code from Revit to handle IFC files, with added hierarchy, Pset, and data enhancements.
• Support for 60+ file formats – Open and work with a variety of CAD file formats in one comprehensive application.
• Coordination with Autodesk products – Open Navisworks files in Autodesk AutoCAD, Revit, and ReCap Pro.
• Navisworks + Point Layout – Automatically add layout points to coordinated models. Import, export, and compare directly in Navisworks.

• Aggregate data into a single model – Combine design and construction data into a singular model.
• Model simulation and animation – Link animated model objects to your construction schedules for high-quality project simulations.
• Whole-team project review – Bring together data created by multidisciplinary teams to explore and review complex models in real time.
• Publish and share NWD and DWF files – Publish models in distributable file formats that capture detailed design information.
• Measurement tools – Quickly measure between points using face, snapping, axis locking, and quick zoom.
• Redline tool – Gain greater clarity and control when adding redlines.

Quantification

• Integrated quantification takeoff – Measure lines, areas, and counts with 2D and 3D takeoff rather than carrying out manual calculations.
• Quantification from PDF sheets – Trace existing geometry on a 2D PDF worksheet, such as a floor plan, to create takeoffs automatically.
• Navisworks + Assemble – Bring models from Navisworks into Assemble for use in estimating, scheduling, or other workflows.

• 5D project scheduling – Simulate 5D construction schedules and logistics.
• Photorealistic model rendering – Develop compelling 3D animations and imagery. 
• Reality capture capabilities – Work with enhanced point cloud integration to detect and verify clashes and construction. Leverage Autodesk ReCap Pro with image and laser scanning devices to survey and identify physical objects and existing conditions on the construction site.
• Cloud rendering – Create renders for whole-project models you can store and share in the cloud.
• Real-time navigation – Explore an integrated project model as it’s built.
• Appearance profiler – Add new depths of clarity by coloring project models based on their properties, and applying them to your entire project.
