Find

  • Display and navigate business information behind the geometry 
  • Search for elements based on key attributes
  • Locate information contained in i-models
  • Find and access element information quickly
  • Look for various materials, PDF references, and simple geometry
  • Isolate key components with customizable search capability

Measure

  • Accurately measure distances and angles
  • Estimate areas and volumes with complete reliability
  • Compare two pieces of geometry with complete engineering precision
  • Determine clearance constraints for effective planning
  • Properly size doorways and openings to improve design

Simulate

  • Detect clashes on native content from many sources without translation
  • Create and apply powerful suppression rules to reduce false results
  • Manage and resolve clash results effectively
  • Import project schedule information to simulate project planning
  • Review multiple schedule scenarios simultaneously
  • Animate objects based on schedule task or construction status
  • Dynamic scheduling ensures changes are automatically updated in both Navigator and the original scheduling software

Group

  • Create item relationships to build more intelligence in the model
  • Create and maintain project-level groupings in Excel and quickly and easily import them 
  • Group and categorize data to alter the display view
  • Assign attributes to items and classify geometry
  • Color code the model and group according to construction status
  • Organize elements by discipline or specific contractor

Markup

  • Review and mark up designs with redline comments
  • Manage markups and review workflows with markup dialog
  • Register and preserve comments against items
  • Assign unique attributes and comment history to individual markups
  • Add simple graphics to enhance "what if" scenarios and assess impact

Produce

  • Near real-time photo-realistic Luxology rendering
  • Generate paper prints of models and markups to scale 
  • Publish 2D/3D multi-page PDF reports of markups, including those from multiple overlay files
