Autodesk Construction Cloud Model Coordination: Cloud Workflows Supplemented with Navisworks

Navisworks has been the industry standard for model coordination, however, development in the Autodesk Construction Cloud has gained traction. The ACC now provides users the opportunity to evaluate options for model coordination workflows. In the session, we will show the tools and workflows native to ACC Model Coordination with options to supplement in Navisworks. The session will evaluate different aspects of the tools, including ease of compiling models, clash detection processes, issue tracking, communication methods, model navigation, user interface, and integration with existing systems. Differences in project types, market sectors, geographic regions, and company policies can all play a factor in determining the most suitable workflows for model coordination. It is not the goal of the session to present a clear cut “winner” for model coordination, but rather to provide attendees information that they can use in their own decision-making process.
