Simple 4D animation using Navisworks!

- Опубликовано: 15 июл 2024
- The 4D timeliner in Navisworks Manage/Simulate is actually much simpler than you may expect. By putting together a basic program and some sets of elements, we can link them together using Navisworks time liner.
Oh and yeah we crash 3 times. Awkward.
I hope you enjoy the session and learn something new! Feel free to comment any feedback/questions below, or follow my channel if you enjoyed this.

haha... Michael pop-up for all the crashes was a brilliant touch...
Glad you liked it Gagandeep - this clip bears close resemblance to my reaction to usually crashing at bad times!
Indeed!!!!
Learned so much, thanks for uploading.
Glad it was helpful!
I really forgot how to animate using Navisworks!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
May God bless this channel!
Just subscribed here!
You're welcome! I forget quite often as well and come back to my own video haha
thank you so much.
it helps a lot
keep making such videos ❤
You're welcome!
Thank you so much for your video.
You are welcome!
Great fast tutorial, good to refresh why I don't use it anymore hehehe, Legend!
Yes it's definitely showing its age!
So it crashes even on the BIM Guru, lol. Great tutorial.
Haha yes indeed it does! Glad you enjoyed it
Great !
Thanks!
Thanks for this informative tutorial. 👍
You're welcome!
Thanks a lot brother, I would always wonder how to use 4D , your video really helped to understand things
Glad it was helpful!
very interesting thanks
You're welcome Ruben!
Thnank you Guru.. Actually u r a Big Guru... My God bless u.. Expecting more from u
Thanks for the kind words, more content to come!
Good job! thanks!
Youre welcome
I am an Architect. Thanks for your video. I also have a channel. Please come in to have a look ^^
Thanks Gavin, your channel is very instructive. Will you continue on more advanced topics of Navisworks, such as data tools, select inspector,..?
I'll likely package most of the fundamentals into an online course for my platform eventually - I prefer to use my channel to cover 1 off topics typically, that are easier to fit in a 15-20 minute timeslot.
Nice explanation. I've actually seen a Dynamo script through Revit that does this using periodic Run. So Dynamo might actually be a better option than Navis as it can be manipulated more without having to be exported to Navis
Interesting idea, I can imagine it might get pretty slow at larger model scales though. Lots of geometry to preview, or hide/isolate if it's in Revit.
Thanks man 💯👍🏻
Youre welcome!
Thank you.
Youre welcome
thanks
You're welcome!
Awesome tutorial…
Thanks!
"Navisworks can be very temperamental"??? That's like saying the Titanic had some watertight issues around 00:05 on 15 April 1912. It's a bit galling that as Autodesk's anchor into BIM, Navisworks doesn't appear to enjoy much development (like - any). Brilliant tutorial - I always get a lot from these. Thanks for persisting ABG
Haha yes I definitely could be a bit less friendly in my description of Navisworks - it's been a bit like watching an old friend refuse to grow up whilst we're all moving onward and upward; a very frustrating experience to have enjoyed using it at first and then watch it go. It had/s so much potential, but Autodesk doesn't seem to be interested in it versus cloud offerings.
Revizto is my prediction for where the industry will move to, and many are already going that way. It's the spiritual successor in my eyes (BIM360 Design collab's tool is pretty rubbish versus Navisworks still).
These crashes are the highlights in this video 😃
Haha yes they do add an air of comedy.
Software can't keep up with your speed ⚡.
Very informative video for beginners.
(I am using one project parameter and add data in revit then use attach by rule option so it will automatically assign with task.)
Great to see you're using the parameter driven method also, definitely the right way on larger projects.
Hello Sir, Please I want to learn this method, Are there any youtube tutorials that show how to do that?
I had the same crash problem a year ago related to the appearance tab. After updating Revit 2020 and Navisworks 2020 to their latest version, the crash did not show anymore. I was also using MS Project Pro and had no crashes in Navis with it.
Glad it wasn't just me!
Very helpful tutorial🙏🏼🌟what is the difference of attaching items to display Id or Synchrozation Id?
Hrm I'm not too sure myself. I've only typically used this approach.
Maybe it would be easier to do search sets by adding shared project parameter to all elements that you're about to animate, like "construction step" and numerate them as you draw revit model.
Ofc that wouldn't save any time if you decide to do it after the fact.. but if you know you're going to do it before you start modeling, it might be a useful parameter to have.
But i had no idea this is the feature Navis has. Cool stuff!
Question: what would you consider to be the best alternative to Navis, considering the issues?
Yes this is exactly how I would do it, I think somewhere in there I mention it wouldn't make for very interesting viewing watching me assign it all though!
Hi, I noticed the Revit contents on your online store on your website are not available. Wondering when will I be able to purchase contents and training packages?
Thanks,
AG
These are being migrated across to my course platform, hoping to launch next week all if all goes to plan!
Training content will emerge progressively.
My Dynamo course is now available :)

I agree Autodesk is neglecting Navisworks as they are focusing on BIM360 which will eventually replace Navisworks. I also have a thought for a future tutorial I would like to know what kind of workflow is best to do 3D construction details e.g window jamb to sill corner. I am finding revit is a real dog when it comes to doing those and Im having to use Sketchup. Which is a pain as its a different work environement and means I have to maintain multiple models. It will be real interesting as 3D details are being requested more and more I have a project were the facade engineer is requesting me to do 30+ of them, so you can imagine how much of a time suck it is.
I doubt that BIM360 will take over Navisworks entirely unless they can get all customers on the cloud and capture all features there that Navisworks has. The clash detective there leaves a lot to be desired, and is still nowhere near as powerful as the one in NW. I expect platforms like Revizto have a much higher chance of replacing it.
Thanks Quintin. To be honest your facade engineer should be doing their own 3D details, it is a waste of time for architects to model up all those detailed extrusions in 3D. From a junctioning perspective sure, but we should not waste our time technically detailing systems as systems (e.g. all the beads/blocks/extrusions of a window suite). At the most you should only 3D detail your scoped items, and placehold their facade elements as boxes.
I'd be happy to show a detail in a tutorial that doesn't involve overly technical parts, so probably not a window junction but maybe a brick to slab with stud wall in 3D, given that these are all architectural scope items. I actually have used Revit for this in the past, it can be done fairly easily with some setup work (Revit doesn't come ready out of the box to do this, but neither does any program really).
My method is roughly:
- Build/manage a 3D detailing parts library
- Same for a model, with common elements like membranes/linings as walls
- Link in the main model, halftone/underlay
- Section box around the detail junction
- Model up the detail using families (loadable/and or system)
The benefit to this is that your detail can be aligned and linked to the main model potentially, and you are not relying on import/export workflows or managing drawing sheets across multiple formats/programs. I would never do a 3D detail inside the same model as the documentation itself, as there are too many elements that would interact with the detail elements, and you run the risk of them being deleted by accident.
@@AussieBIMGuru I totally agree facade engineers should do it. and is something I am disputing currently.
The situation here in Auckland the council is expecting more and more form architects aswell as from the facade engineers. So currently I have 2 Facade engineering companies 1 is to do the main documentation (but doesnt cover all corners of the building) and the other reviews architectural and other facade engineers drawings.
To make it better the architectural drawings and facade drawings have to be at shop drawing level before building consent.
Architecture here in Auckland is becoming more engineering than design so frustrating.
Yes that sounds like a very simiar work flow to what I am doing but still find it quite slow.
I also find using design options for isolating the 3D details handy aswell.
Very informative and easy tutorial. If you remove the crashing portions it will be excellent. Because it distracting the focus.
I use timestamps to skip them. I like to keep them there to show that Navisworks is not always reliable.
❤
I had the same problems years ago when trying to change or create new appearances. I thought it was a bug in those versions.
It appears it's still lurking under the hood. Doesn't seem to always happen, but did consistently in this model.
Try minimize the Navisworks and go back to revit and when reopen Navisworks window. It'll crash again.
Seems most things crash it these days!
can add elbow angle in navisworks quantification
Not 100% sure as haven't used Navis for MEP quantities, maybe ask the forums./
Can you extract Resource Graphs from Navisworks? Lets say how many workers need to be on field each day? Thank You!
Only if you associate that data to the tasks I believe. I'd look into synchro for detailed reporting as navisworks hasnt been updated for a long time now unfortunately.
@@AussieBIMGuru Thank You a lot, this shouldn't be hard to do, I'm feeling so sad there's no add-on that does that actually..
@@AussieBIMGuru Thanks for the quick reply
why I can't find the model in the website?
courses.bimguru.education
nice but hw to make a realtime renering simulation
Use a better program like Synchro or UE5 - Navisworks isn't a rendering dedicated program.
Probably a simple navisworks question from a newb, why does it now allow me Find All now I select a category etc?
Because you need a criteria to search for before you can find anything.
Navisworks crashing?????? naaaa lol
Haha yep she'll be right.
