Autodesk Naviswork Manage 2010

Autodesk® Navisworks® Manage software is a comprehensive project review solution for design, engineering, and construction management professionals seeking powerful insight and predictability to improve productivity and quality. It provides all the tools required for smooth-running design and construction projects.

Autodesk Navisworks Manage adds precise fault-finding analysis and interference management to:

• Dynamic 4D project scheduling and photorealistic visualization capabilities of Autodesk® Navisworks® Simulate software
• Real-time visualization and collaborative review capabilities of Autodesk® Navisworks® Review software

• Audit Trail tracks the status of clashes as they are found and resolved.
• Export reports with results of clash tests including comments and screenshots.
• XML import/export enables sharing of clash scenarios with other Autodesk Navisworks users.
• Group clash results to deal with multiple clash results as a single issue.
• View clash in context to orient yourself and your clash results within the model.
• Make all non-clashing items transparent to make it easier to locate the clash within the model.
• Transition between clash results to maintain orientation within the project model.

• Export 4D simulations into a prerecorded .AVI animation.
• Customize task color and transparency, as well as overlay text.
• Import/export CSV support to export schedule modifications for use in other applications.
• Copy and paste dates.
• Attach selection to multiple tasks.

• Rich Photorealistic Content (RPC) enables easy addition of photographic imagery, such as adding people and trees to scenes.
• HDRI Lighting provides powerful rendering technology for smooth shadows and natural lighting.
• Environment Backgrounds enable easy addition of real-world background scenery.
• Real-time Shaders support OpenGL 2.0 shader language for real-time lighting and shadows.
• Light Scattering effect creates believable night-time imagery.
• Sketch Effects offer a variety of sketch-like, painterly effects.
• Support for real-world lighting intensity units (candela, lumen, lux, foot-candle) and photometric lighting files (.CIB, .CIE, .IES, and .LDT).
• Support for PNG Files with transparency to create your own transparent materials.

• Powerful compression reduces file size by 70 percent or more compared to original design files.
• Files can be password-encrypted, time expired, made read-only, and they contain all authorship and copyright details.
• Store all review data together with your model.
• Embed or exclude object properties, including external databases read through DataTools.

• Add mark-ups to viewpoints with advanced redlining tools.
• Add cross sections and section planes for close inspection of details.
• Record animated walk-throughs for real-time playback or export as prerecorded .AVI files.
• Use .NWF reference files on open models. The latest version of the CAD design is used, while all previous review data is maintained.
• Read intelligent data from the original design files and view it alongside the model.
• DataTools feature enables import of live data from external databases using SQL through ODBC, which can then be displayed together with the model.
• SwitchBack feature enables easy opening of the current model and viewpoint in the original design software.
• Automate tasks or extend functionality using the extensive COM API.
