Description
Throughout all phases of the project multidisciplinary team members need to collaborate and communicate with each other. There are multiple tools and technologies that are used to facilitate those interactions from informal / unstructured mechanisms (e.g. phone calls, emails, face to face meetings) through to highly structured and contractual systems (e.g. cost, change or bid management systems). Most project teams need a system that provides structured, audited and controlled interactions between team members for tracking formal but not contractual interactions, typically referred to as an issue tracking system. 'Issues' can comprise questions, clarifications, notifications and alerts across anyone in the project team. The issue tracking system provides a mechanism to document issues, assign responsibility and view the status of how the issue resolution is progressing.
Frequently the project participant that is responding to or raising an issue will be a persona that is creating or consuming data in a desktop product such as Autodesk® Navisworks®. This persona is likely to receive issues that have been created by other project participants that need clarity on the design content that has been created, and to collaborate with other project team members as they develop their design and fabrication content. They may also use issues to track and resolve problems relating to clash and coordination problems or changes to the project.
Autodesk® BIM 360™ currently offers issue tracking workflows in BIM 360 Document Management and Field Management, Design Collaboration and Model Coordination. BIM 360 Issues can currently be created and viewed through a browser or mobile app.
This app integrates Navisworks and BIM 360 Issues, with additional connectivity to BIM 360 Model Coordination. This enables opening model content from Model Coordination, to provide complimentary coordination workflows to BIM/VDC teams across web and desktop, with consistent issue management.
Note: This app uses a custom installer (and not the standard App Store installer).
After Creating the NWF set and Add the models and create the Clashes. I Cannot add a new model to this NWF set.
I should start again reviewing the clashes if a new model Added.
Is there any way to do that without losing the current clashes?
Dear Autodesk,
I installed the plug-in on multiple computers but the same issue remains. There should be 3 buttons: coordination, manage issues and about.
However, the coordination buttons does not show up for me on multiple computers
it will be perfect if Autodesk add also the RFI option as well. to view RFI from the model and create ones as well
The plugin is great for getting BIM 360 geometry into Navisworks for further analysis achieved in BIM 360. It's an easy way for a GC to create a federated model for viewability in the field that represents the latest model coordination efforts. Unfortunately one of the things I like best about Navisworks is the ability to translate components to look at possible routing options with subcontractors during coordination meetings. You can't do this in BIM 360 currently. I would be happy with doing it in Navisworks instead, but as soon as I translate any object it disappears and regenerates at the origin, even after I save the NWF as a NWD. Unfortunately without this function working it makes more sense for me to have subcontractors upload NWCs in addition to their native files, and then create my NWD the old fashioned way.
Hayes - I agree the translate elements is essential functionality to support as are other items if using Navisworks to open models from BIM 360 Model Coordination. Autodesk (navisworks development team) is working on it based upon a support request we submitted. For now, here is where they will track it. https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/navisworks-products/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Using-the-Items-Move-tool-elements-disappears-in-BIM-360-Coordination-Model-files-in-Navisworks-Manage.html
One article states that you have to upload an NWD to the coordination space to be able to open and run issues in Navis. We did this and the model does not show. Is this the correct file type? I can see the Revit models only.
Thanks!
If you email navisworks.apps@autodesk.com a link to the article you mention we will get it corrected if possible. NWD support is only for models opened through Desktop Connector, Coordination spaces support rvt/dwg/ifc
I think that NWD process was for the first release of this tool... This latest release completely changes the way the tool works (from what I can gather). Have a look at this webinar on the current release.... This webinar occurred last night. https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__emconstruction.autodesk.com_lYSe2000jXvQ0V2p1000g1J&;d=DwMFaQ&c=TQzoP61-bYDBLzNd0XmHrw&r=l1VJJGn_x2LvToFkBPuh3G554msPh79N4AlgqqkMBCw&m=d6PsXwTZDiYvPuYdFG_EN2qMlZjjHN1dHUYJ6VoUQ5A&s=V2XXaWMOZHT3-HpYQUvCqid7qHY63_WBUzmy_IcIaN0&e=
This Change from NWD to NWF - was a bad move for many reasons. We want all users identifying issues clash and none clash to an NWD file that is NOT in model Coordination because we collaborate beyond clashes . We want the Automatic Screen Grab to work if it is the NWD or NWF inside of Docs. If a user assigns a clash to the NWF and someone goes to review this clash and clicks on the new NWF hyperlink - it forces a Download because NWFs can't be viewed like the NWD inside of Web Viewer. PLEASE stop forcing Model Coordination for this really great tool you need the same features in both NWD Issues and NWF Issues.
Would it be possible to save the automatic snap of the issue under attachement tab in BIM360 issues properties palette instead of manually snap then drag/drop in it. ?
Why isn't Navisworks capable of showing the exact same green/red clashing objects using the BIM360 Issues integration? See https://cadcompany-my.sharepoint.com/:i:/g/personal/john_deleeuw_cadcompany_nl/EbrxYJVQIhhJscnIfNSuaeIB-MC4_e1syl7hXhO-VIeBww?e=tdPboU" target="_blank">this image.
Will we be able to save the Navisworks model's to docs? This seems critical as a way of replacing Glue.
You can save Navisworks files to docs under project files. You can also use the desktop connector to save models to and they will upload to docs for you.
When will the Navisworks 2021 version be ready?
Current release supports 2021, so if you have not updated already please do.
This app is critical for VDCing a project in BIM 360. Please add an automatic screen grab of the issue or be able to snag a saved view... it very manual to do it but if your project has point clouds it brings context back to BIM 360.
Hi - Happy to let you know that in both directions (NW to MC or MC to NW) automatic screenshots of the issue with clash highlighting will be attached to the issue (if from a MC Clash Issue or during NW Clash Detective even with Markups etc. as well)! We plan to release this next update in the next few weeks! Thank you for your support!
@Zacg Crumal Great to hear this is coming. We need to automatic Screenshot for all Issues not just clashes to go into BIM 360 Issues for Docs & Field. There are several cases this saved view context is necessary well beyond the model coordination integration.
Hi, It´s possile that I can see the issues directly in Revit?
Hi Autodesk Any updates or a timeline on when we will get it for revit
Hi, is it possible to share the clashs detection issues from navis to BIM360?
Hi - Yes! Please reach out to your Autodesk Customer Success Manager and we can help fill you in and provide access to our next release currently in Beta! Issues created in both BIM 360 and Navisworks are shared, as well as viewpoint zoom-in and several other options to attach data/documents to an issue as well!
Thanks for the app, it does the job!
Hi Anthony- more is coming ;) please join our beta for access to the next release and tight integration with BIM 360 Model Coordination. Please reach out to your Autodesk POC/CSM and I can provide access. Thanks
Dear Autodesk,
Does the BIM 360 Issues App work on Navisworks Freedom or only Navisworks Manage?
Best Regards,
Fady
Freedom has never allowed any plugins, so Manage is required
Dear Autodesk,
Is there any plans to link the capacities of BIM 360 Glue with BIM 360 Docs issues tracking?
Best Regards
Gilles
Hi Gilles, this integration is only connecting BIM 360 Issues to Navisworks & BIM 360 Docs, upcoming plans are for integrating BIM 360 Model Coordination data sets directly into NW. BIM 360 Glue (classic) is not part of the next-gen platform/Document Management workflows.
Yeah BIM360 Glue is now de-funct & replaced w/- BIM360 Coordinate. The killer is those that have previously deployed Glue on a project - can't de-bus it in order to install Coordinate. Another Autodesk Gazump
