Your files need to be all coordinated from your authoring tools. Set up the coordination model At first, make sure the files that you’ll be using for coordination have the correct coordinates.

There should be indicated which coordinates will be used as a project base point and for your shared coordinates. Create a BIM Execution Plan Before you start any coordination you need to create a BIM Execution Plan (BEP).However, the company was acquired by Autodesk in 2007. The Navisworks original developer was UK-based developer NavisWorks. Users can open models in Navisworks directly from coordination spaces in Model Coordination using the Coordination Issues for Autodesk Navisworks add-in. Navisworks Manage and Navisworks Simulate has integration with Model Coordination module of Autodesk Construction Cloud, that provides web access to models and federated views. Navisworks Manage will be purchased by your principal agents that are coordinating project. Naviswork Manage is the highest version and it does everything Freedom and Simulate does plus it adds the ability to do clash detection and clash management.Most project managing companies and construction companies would purchase Navisworks Simulate. Navisworks Simulate does everything that Freedom does but it also allows you to do quantity takeoff, put annotations, save viewpoints and export combined models.
