ProjectWise Navigator is a visual collaboration tool used for immersive project review and analysis to support design and construction management processes and to manage assets in real time.
A key benefit of using ProjectWise Navigator is that it enables teams to assemble content from different sources and file formats and federate that content in a single environment.
The 2D/3D Challenge
Design and construction projects consist of 2D and 3D graphical and geometric content created using different applications and formats. The challenge facing all teams is to assemble the various pieces of content in one application for downstream processes including:
- Design review and manipulation
- Content enrichment through the addition of comments and project links
- Photorealistic visualization and animation production
- Project analysis, schedule simulation, and clash detection
- Production of portable and intelligent work packages in PDF
File Format Versatility
On the desktop, ProjectWise Navigator provides support for a broad range of applications, industry standards and file formats. Some of the file formats supported include:
- DGN, DWG, DXF, SKP
- PDF, IFC, IGES, STEP
- PDS, AutoPLANT, PlantSpace and TriForma
- Google Earth and Google SketchUp and 3DS
In total, ProjectWise Navigator can access geometric, graphical, and non-graphical 2D/3D project content from hundreds of Office, graphics, AEC, and infrastructure design applications.
Security of a Managed Environment
In a managed environment, ProjectWise Navigator enables teams to control and audit content assembly by managing file and content access and by managing hyperlinks to content stored in other files. When used as a client to the ProjectWise Integration Server, additional capabilities include:
- Check-in/Check-out transactions for secure work share
- Audit trail creation for insight into who did what and when
- Full text and component indexing for cross-enterprise searching
- Local Caching Servers for rapid LAN-like content access
- Automated and scheduled processing for printing and publishing
