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.

We use the clash detective the most in helping coordination between trades. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The animation and timeline coordination is a little time consuming. 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.

Search interface can be made simpler, I guess. 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.

It's a flexible tool, that can integrarte mmultiple extensions at he same time, it helps detect clashes between various disciplines and softwares, as it is easy to you use, it helps visualsing and preventing damages to the construction at early phases of the life cycle of the construction, and it's easy to install to the pc or laptop, and it's fairly used by companies, and we use frequentley during our meeting because it helps cummunicating and support our client during the exucution phase or study phase of the project.

There is few negatives but once we create a NWD file it becomes hard to delete unwanted models, for example itf we updated a model we need to create a new NWD file with all the old models plus the model that was updated the latest, and it can add up unneccessary time wasted on one file that could updated by 2 clicks instead of going through the whole process of intergrating models that most of time are very large files that needs time to be imported.
