Effective coordination is at the heart of successful construction projects, ensuring seamless collaboration, constructability review, and issue resolution. Autodesk, a leader in building information modeling (BIM) software, has taken another step forward in empowering users with greater control over their coordination workflows. The latest feature, "Turn Off Clash in Coordination Spaces," allows BIM Managers to load and access models in Autodesk BIM Collaborate while still leveraging the control and granularity of Navisworks' clash capabilities. Let's dive into the details of this exciting development and explore how it enhances coordination processes.
Streamlining Coordination Workflows:
The new ability to turn off automatic clash detection when creating new coordination spaces provides users with more flexibility and control over their coordination processes. By turning off clash detection in Autodesk BIM Collaborate, BIM Managers gain the freedom to load and access models seamlessly, ensuring a smoother workflow for model aggregation, collaboration, constructability review, and issue creation.
Leveraging the Power of Navisworks:
Navisworks, known for its robust clash detection capabilities, has long been a go-to software for clash detection and coordination in the AEC industry. However, users often faced challenges when trying to integrate Navisworks with other collaboration platforms. With the introduction of "Turn Off Clash in Coordination Spaces," Autodesk has bridged this gap, allowing BIM Managers to harness Navisworks' clash capabilities within the collaborative framework of Autodesk BIM Collaborate.
Increased Control for BIM Managers:
BIM Managers play a critical role in overseeing coordination workflows, ensuring that clashes are detected and resolved efficiently. With the ability to turn off clash detection in coordination spaces, BIM Managers gain enhanced control over the coordination process. They can now focus on aggregating models, facilitating collaboration among team members, conducting constructability reviews, and creating and managing issues, all while retaining the ability to utilize Navisworks' clash capabilities when needed.
Improved Efficiency and Collaboration:
By offering the option to turn off clash detection, Autodesk empowers BIM Managers to streamline coordination workflows and eliminate potential bottlenecks. This flexibility allows teams to work in a more collaborative and efficient manner. BIM Managers can now load models into Autodesk BIM Collaborate without waiting for lengthy clash detection processes, accelerating the coordination process and enabling quicker decision-making.
Seamless Integration and Data Accessibility:
The ability to turn off clash detection in coordination spaces ensures a seamless integration of Autodesk BIM Collaborate and Navisworks. BIM Managers can access models stored in Autodesk BIM Collaborate and leverage Navisworks' clash capabilities whenever necessary. This integration optimizes the use of existing clash detection workflows, enhances data accessibility, and eliminates the need for complex data transfers or duplicative clash detection efforts.
Autodesk's introduction of "Turn Off Clash in Coordination Spaces" marks a significant advancement in coordination workflows. BIM Managers now have the power to load and access models in Autodesk BIM Collaborate, seamlessly collaborate, conduct constructability reviews, and create and manage issues while still benefiting from the control and granularity of Navisworks' clash capabilities. This development not only streamlines coordination processes but also enhances efficiency, collaboration, and data accessibility. By empowering users with greater control, Autodesk continues to push the boundaries of innovation in the field of building information modeling.
