UNITEC Solutions for Autodesk Navisworks

With Autodesk Navisworks, in comparison to other similar visualization solutions, you have a solution that gives you true value for your money. Individual functionalities like collision detection, sectioning, search
capabilities, comparison of your models and visualizing, can all be used within the free of charge viewer called Freedom. By using the Freedom viewer design experts obtain a valuable tool that helps to handover
design planning, interactive visualization and real-time project realization. This without having any limitations in the size or the complexity of the 3D model, the Freedom viewer even allows measuring and red-lining of the design for review purposes. Autodesk Navisworks is capable of reading the most common 3D design formats like AutoCAD, Microstation, Intergraph PDS, and many more.

UNITEC is aware of the power of Autodesk Navisworks and developed a number of interfaces that even enhance the functionalities of Navisworks. The interfaces offer you the opportunity to read and write to practically every popular CAD solution, they also are capable of reading 3D designs and create a much higher quality model including all attributes of the original CAD solution. With the UNITEC interfaces the hierarchy stays intact and you will be able to collaborate with and analyze multiple different CAD formats.
