Introduction
In the construction industry, sometimes many teams working on different tasks are involved in a project. In such cases, the coordination between the team members and integration of the project data is important for seamless execution of the project. Autodesk Navisworks is designed to provide an integrated environment to coordinate, share, and manage project files between multiple teams. It helps them to view the whole project and make better design conclusions, accurate construction documents, and to anticipate performance of the design. It is a powerful software which takes construction and design to new levels. It holds a building information modelling project together. The use of Autodesk Navisworks 2017 provides a competitive advantage and a higher profitability to building industry professionals.
