Navisworks Reviews & Product Details

What I like best about Navisworks is how effective it is for coordination and clash detection in multidisciplinary projects.

It allows you to combine multiple models (architectural, structural, MEP) into a single coordinated environment without heavy files.

The clash detection tools are very clear and practical, making it easy to identify, classify, and track conflicts (like MEP vs. structure or cable trays vs. plumbing). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s a review-only tool—you can’t fix clashes directly, so you always have to go back to Revit or another authoring software, which can slow down coordination.

Clash results management can become messy on large projects if naming conventions and rules aren’t well defined.

The interface feels outdated compared to newer Autodesk tools and isn’t very intuitive for new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are many things about naviswork which are best as compared to many other collaboration Softwares.

It is one of the as simple to use software which can even be used by beginners.

I use the software on daily basis for my task completion, I can say it is the best software for clash detection and one of the most efficient tool for combining multiple trade files in just one view.

Best highlights of Naviswork i can say is Clash Detection and Collaboration of multiple trades in a single file ! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In Naviswork when we open a NWD file there should be an option to delete the NWC files which are loaded in the Main combined file, Because sometimes it causes Overlaping of all the old as well as latest NWC files resulting confusion in current location of objects.

Navisworks is a decent tool for viewing models. One of its main advantages is the availability of a free version, which we rely on for our field team to access and review models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I find frustrating about Navisworks is its navigation system. I find it quite difficult to get used to how navigation works in Navisworks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Clash Detection, Clash Avoidance, 4D scheduling and Viewing Models Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It needs to enhance the ability to use the 3D models further more by using it for Augmentation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Navisworks is one of my go-to tools for model aggregation and clash detection. I love how it allows me to bring together multiple trades into a single federated model and quickly identify coordination issues. The clash detective is powerful and reliable, especially when managing large healthcare projects where precision is critical. The timeline and quantification tools are also helpful for advanced users. It’s a must-have for the QA/QC process in BIM workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface feels dated, and navigating large models isn’t as smooth as it could be. Setting up search sets or custom rules can be tedious, especially compared to more modern tools. I also wish the clash reports were more customizable or easier to export in more visual formats. While it’s powerful, it hasn’t evolved much in recent years.

Freedom to look at the designed model from any angle required.

Multiple tools available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Search interface can be made simpler, I guess. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

large file and multiple discipline will perform slow and sometime get hang Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Clash Detection and Coordination, 4D Simulation, 5D Project Simulation, Quantification and Costing, and Real-Time Collaboration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customer Support, Rendering Quality, Limited Artistic Styles, and No Built-In Sound Options while creating the animation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its ability to work with BIM data is incredible. It allows so much flexibility to connect to BIM ecosystems. Its really built to optimize Digital Delivery. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It lacks AI tools and would be on another level if it had AI agents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to change object colors and transparency (Appearance Profiler), produce 4D renderings using the Timeliner Function and the ability to ipmort 3D scan data for coordination. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Would be helpful if Navisworks allowed editing of object parameter data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
