Navisworks Manage is a collaboration software that supports coordination, analysis and communication of design intent and constructability.  Attendees will learn: how to create a central federated model and employ different methods for transferring files for use in the federated model; how to link models from all trades into a singular federate model and create clash detection reports to identify collisions between trades; appearance profile setup for color coding disciplines for easier visualization of different trade's modeled content; how to navigate and "fly through" the model; and how utilizing the model can benefit field personnel and reduce rework.
