Naviswork for Beginner Transcription

• 00:00 - 00:30 hello welcome again thanks for joining our free on a lesson so let me introduce myself my name is shafiq farhan and for today presentation free on a lesson are going to talk about navy's work for beginner for those that really want to learn about navy's work so this will be the best topics that you can join and you can learn with us right so let me introduce about our company we are from acad system so i can system is autodesk gold partner
• 00:30 - 01:00 so we did provide outreach solution autodesk product authorized training okay if you require any training any detailed training with a certification then you can contact us and give us know what training that you are require okay let's go straight away for our topics so navi's work for beginner basically this nervous work for beginner are topics that are very commonly people using navy's work so in episode
• 01:00 - 01:30 they will have a few types of nervous work the first one is a navisword freedom navi so manage simulate okay but for today we are going to focus on the managed one okay so we want to try to compile okay to complement all package or all 3d package in nevis software okay if you're not sure about what is nervous work so let's check out this form so this will be my navy's work manage
• 01:30 - 02:00 2021 so you can also install 2022 or 2023 so which is have better features a better performance compared to this 2021 okay first step you need to know about the file extension of naviswork okay if you really want to learn about nevis work you need to have a 3d model from other software and then insert to navisword so how to insert
• 02:00 - 02:30 so whenever that you want to insert in a baseboard they will have one button we call it as a append left side here home tab append okay you can click on this append or merge much means you want to con merge your naviswood into current navi so far okay a pen is to attach others file into your navy's work so by simply click on this append button okay then you can just directly select
• 02:30 - 03:00 whatever drawing that you require okay in this case i want to combine between a few kind of drawing okay the first drawing that i really want to insert here is the famous one revving okay which the file extension dot rbt the second one is autocad file so if i've i have autocad file so autocad
• 03:00 - 03:30 should be dot dwg okay dot dwg so that will be the thing that i i plan to do for today so how to insert the first one so if you want to insert one by one you just need to click on append and click dot rvd file okay whenever that you click open okay it will directly open dot rbt file
• 03:30 - 04:00 over here over here okay next if you want to append more drawing so you can just simply click again and again so in certain cases you're required to append more than one drawing at one time so what you can do click append and go to for example i have two still drawing okay this drawing i created using plan 3d so then i want to convert into this navisword fund
• 04:00 - 04:30 to do clash detection and so on so i just can use control to select two file at one time to open it okay so this will be the first first form another structure will be at the inside build inside of the building okay if you want to add more more and more okay is that possible to add inventive drawing yeah
• 04:30 - 05:00 the answer is yes you also can insert inventor drawing into your navigation so whenever that you already have the inventor drawing also okay you can also click on in here okay for example here i already have two inventor parts just click here okay later we will check one by one what already insert in the drawing so let me try to insert one more things which is equipment then done so they will have a lot of
• 05:00 - 05:30 drawing that a lot of file that i already insert here so the first file is revit okay in certain cases you want to hide or you want to temporarily hide it so what you can do on this selection tree okay if you're never so missing this item okay this toolbar here so what you can do go to your home tab click on the selection tree for the selection tree they will have a
• 05:30 - 06:00 few things that you can set the first one is standard compact and properties okay standard compact and properties okay also you can set a new set which is we call it as a manage set over here okay you can specify for example you want to uh specify by level level one level two level three and so on okay you can set the set letter okay so in terms of selection so they
• 06:00 - 06:30 will have two kind of selection in nevis one the first selection which is component selection one by one selection okay the second selection is windows selection okay selection box okay when you use this select box so what will happen you can just select we are here okay the method of selection just the same like autocad okay
• 06:30 - 07:00 whenever you go to the left side means become a blue color it will be only selected object inside the box okay so but for the blue other whenever you go to the right okay anything that selected okay touch the box will be selected here okay so that create the idea over here okay so you can change keep changing for this selection select select box so next
• 07:00 - 07:30 if you required to do a clash detection or you want to do a timeline quantification everything can be done also in this home tab but before i go to these tools so let me do some demonstration on how we going to study on our model okay so to do walkthrough on our model so you need to do a few few kind of setting first
• 07:30 - 08:00 okay the first setting which is from this viewport okay from this viewpoint okay you need to turn on this third person button here before you turn on my suggestion is to make sure that you are have very good view right now before you turn on the person here the third person okay or later you can also move it
• 08:00 - 08:30 okay into the proper one when you click on this third person you will see they will have three more buttons collision gravity encroach so these three buttons are disabled at this moment because of currently our active but our active cursor is a select cursor selection cursor so you need to change from select to work okay when you click on walk
• 08:30 - 09:00 this three button can directly click here so let's do some movement into the building okay i just click drag my mouse so to check everything here okay so you can do the walkthrough directly here so but right now i want to do some logic in my walkthrough so i just click
• 09:00 - 09:30 on this collusion gravity and coach okay if i want to study one by one so for example i just want to study on this collision so what will happen when i move my model my person into an object it will stop if i take on this gravity if my object is on a specific height it will help me to
• 09:30 - 10:00 go to the direct flow the the specific floor okay and the last one which is approach if you move into a area that you need to sit and move okay for example over here okay your third person will be acting something like this okay that will be the overview okay i go here reverse first
• 10:00 - 10:30 so that will be the idea for this kind of item so how to go out okay for this case because i already turned on the collision i cannot go out in from my building so if you really want you can just temporarily turn on turn off the collision okay so some cases that you're not sure how to move your your third-person view so this will be the way you can control it
• 10:30 - 11:00 okay instead of you zoom in zoom out okay in a proper way so then you can just take on this third person second step take on the walk make sure this three button depends on what logic that you require over here so after you're done with creating walkthrough for your building so the next thing that i want to touch
• 11:00 - 11:30 here so let me turn off the third person first okay and then go to the home view okay if you want to zoom in zoom out just use as normal method which is use your screw but if you want to rotate it you need to click on your scroll and your mouse and shift these two button okay so over here we will have two
• 11:30 - 12:00 type of camera that we can view the first one is a perspective view and orthographic view okay normally when we want to do a walkthrough we will use perspective view normally but if you require or if you think that the orthographic much more better view then you can just change here okay so what the difference between perspective and auto so you can see a lot of different here the angle here
• 12:00 - 12:30 45 30 degree okay 45 degree and 30 degrees here this one is for auto and perspective some cases when you open your 3d modeling into this nervous work you will face a lot of black issue okay your drawing is too dark okay how to change it so you can go to this viewpoint also this render style you can click on this
• 12:30 - 13:00 lighting change to full light or change to no light depends on your drawing okay since this drawing are depending on what you are set on the revit or on the plant 3d or on other software okay so if you already set the light okay then it will directly link between each other just simply to change here
• 13:00 - 13:30 so let's go to the next one which is very interesting topics which is class detective timeliner quantification in a very fast way before i go into this three kind of features the three kind of tools so let me set something first so i would like to set few things by level so over here i can click on this set okay click on the drop down button
• 13:30 - 14:00 manage set okay later you will see something like this okay this one you can save selection new folder save search or anything here okay they will have a lot more button here how to set a new set okay for example if i want to this one i try to change into a orthographic much more easy for me to view if i plan to view or to do it in a level
• 14:00 - 14:30 so what i can do i can go to home view click on this select and choose select box select it properly by level this one just hit save selection this one should be under level one okay repeat the process for level two
• 14:30 - 15:00 okay if you have additional item here then you just need to sell it properly level two and the last one which is the level three level three level three okay why these things this set are
• 15:00 - 15:30 important so some cases you can directly do for example the class detection between architectural and arctic ducting between ducting and structural okay but if you are dealing with this kind of drawing okay and they have a few level okay suddenly you want to study is there any clashes between level 2 and level 1 item that's why we need to set the set on our
• 15:30 - 16:00 nervous work okay instead you need to do complex thing complex setup on your revit or plan 3d so just use navisoot to do the set manage the set okay if you check here you can also do for example you have more than one revit drawing okay and then you want to do windows okay select all the windows and save set can also can be done here
• 16:00 - 16:30 okay next i want to do a timeline first okay the timeline first so after you're done with this set you can close it at any time you can just directly manage okay for this timeline you can add tasks and then specify the week that you require okay plan actual plan start plan and actual start
• 16:30 - 17:00 and actual end okay so you can click on this add task okay and when you go to this area okay so when you go to here you can also attach attach item the easiest way is by use set okay level one okay i want to start this level one from
• 17:00 - 17:30 specific date for example this date until for a few months here okay and actual end should be because this one we still don't know so then i just choose any any date here okay for level one and then i can also this one i just name it as a task level one level one
• 17:30 - 18:00 okay add another task for level two attach set for level two level two so what will happen right now basically so if i want to do a simulation okay for example this one i just need to set the date okay and this one should be end on january okay so if i want to do a simulation for my
• 18:00 - 18:30 timeline so what i can do now i can just directly click on this simulate button okay and play okay so at any time if you set it more proper or more nice you will see one button one of each item for example column first and next go to the second stage and everything let me click here so i just stopped here
• 18:30 - 19:00 okay and also because i don't have another one which is level three level three touch attach set level three okay so normally people will link with this thing okay this table with the microsoft project or primavera okay we link between this kind these two things okay so you can monitor your drawing and simulate your
• 19:00 - 19:30 modeling directly to here so normally we will uh people doing that kind of thing so that's how you work with a simulation okay the timeline so timeliner is the uh the purpose of this timeliner button is to do simulation of your 3d modeling okay the more detail the more set that you create the more detail that your project you can see okay the progress that you can see on your project but if you just do the set something
• 19:30 - 20:00 like this level one two and three only okay nothing much you can see only by level only okay so this will be the timeline okay for the clash detect detective so you need to know a few things so before you click on this clash detective so make sure that you already open your revit or you already opened your plant 3d either these two okay for my case i because this building are created using revit and this piping are created using
• 20:00 - 20:30 plant 3d okay and what i can do i can just directly use a clash detective and switch back here they will have one button to switch back so let's go creating a simple clash detective first so clash detective so over here i want to do clash detective between few items okay let me
• 20:30 - 21:00 try to smaller the area here so at this moment everything will be grayed out because we did not set any tests yet so what you can do basically you can click on this at tests to test between structure sd versus piping okay structure versus piping okay and then you need to choose between
• 21:00 - 21:30 drawing versus drawing or set versus set okay set versus set or standard versus standard which is drawing versus problem okay in this case i want to do something like this so this right at the left side selection a i want to choose okay the s drawing which is this 511s and also
• 21:30 - 22:00 one zero zero one and one zero zero two this s represent two structure okay and then the second one structure versus piping so i just need to choose this one p one zero zero one so these two drawing versus this one drawing okay you also can change the setting
• 22:00 - 22:30 the type of clearance or you want to change too hard or anything over here okay and also specify the tolerance okay normally in building we will set a bit bigger value okay but for mechanical parts you need to specify very small value for example 0.001 or 0.1 mm okay for mechanical products okay once you everything done you can just click on this run test
• 22:30 - 23:00 so good things using naviswork you will see something like this so an episode will help you let me close first this thing and then move to the left side okay let's check on the result okay result will be up here so this will be the clash one clash two
• 23:00 - 23:30 okay so let me check either i have a few more items so in certain cases the clash is compulsory to need uh to be done for example these things are not required your your site is not required to make as detailed this one so what you can do for example after you checking everything and all the things is okay so you just need to do a selection one until the end
• 23:30 - 24:00 and then change the status to resolve okay so change the status to resolve okay let's do more and more clash detection so you can add more than one test at one time okay if you require to add new test click on here new test so before i go i want to demonstrate i want to show you i have basically my drawing have a few
• 24:00 - 24:30 problem okay in this 3d model basically if i try to hide this building okay i click on this selection tree again okay right click on this revit file the architectural building hi and you will see something like this okay in my model they will have a few problems so the first problem will be here
• 24:30 - 25:00 okay we'll be here so my piping are clashed between with my ducting okay and then the second one which is here okay my valve clash between the structure so this one i can find by using normal search but if you really want to do a finding
• 25:00 - 25:30 on a proper way so what what you can do so this one is a 1p versus ducting okay 1p versus starting then you can click again on this class detection so add more add more text so this one is a pp versus ducting so just need to choose ducting versus piping game so where is my piping yep this wiping
• 25:30 - 26:00 and then run test okay so this one have one problem so let me go wherever they will have a lot more problem here okay so this will be the problem that i mentioned just now so after you find out this problem what we can do so make sure that you open your revit or your plan 3d first before you do this step okay so after you open your software
• 26:00 - 26:30 so what you can do either you want to edit your ducting okay if i want to edit my darting means i need to open my revit file dot rbt ducting.rbt but if i want to edit my piping okay they will have two option this one piping and then another one which is this one for my revit file that thing so if i want to edit my piping so what i need to do i need to open plan 3d
• 26:30 - 27:00 after i open my pawn 3d so they will have one button which is we call it as a switchback so switch back button able help you to directly open the file and focus on the specific problem item and then do the editing so instead you need to check it check the drawing one one by one need to find out the id for each item okay no need to do if you use naviso
• 27:00 - 27:30 setup here can every so clash detect detective here so they will have one button we call it as a switchback so click on this switchback and your software your plan 3d will be open and the drawing here will which is the m203 one p one zero zero one also will be open directly focus on this pipe okay and you can just simply move the part
• 27:30 - 28:00 okay to avoid the darting to avoid the clashes okay after you're done with this thing and then this one is under review or approve or resolve so that will be the concept of clash detective in this navi so manage so over here also i already import which is this one inventor file okay open back my selection three
• 28:00 - 28:30 oh this one is a custom valve so let me delete this one and then if i want to insert my inventor i just click to click here okay look for inventor parts so if there are any here so let me go to one of my friends your vessel inventor okay so this one i logic yeah okay for example i just try to open this preservation
• 28:30 - 29:00 okay so if i have the full iam file so i only need to insert one time okay the previous vessel here so but certain cases the location is not correct because this one is created using inventor which is uh not a coordination software it's a product design software so if you're required to move your parts here okay so to move your object here so what you can do basically okay you can just
• 29:00 - 29:30 select this drawing okay select this file which is iafa okay and then you can just move it okay you can do the measurement first so if you require to do the measurement to study uh what is the distance between first point to second point for example from here to here so what the distance here okay and then
• 29:30 - 30:00 if you already confirmed with the distance so what you can do go to this item tools hit move button now you can move using this gizmo so in autocad we call it as gizmo okay you can move over here or you want to move up a little bit so instead you're not sure how to insert your inventor file into the 3d modeling
• 30:00 - 30:30 so you can also use this navisou manage to compile get your vessel into a plant okay so that will be the idea on what i'm going to share for today so if you have any question you can type on the chat okay for those that join from our facebook live okay don't forget to share this video so we did have a lot more topics interesting topics that you can learn so within this one we have
