I often get the question when to use BIM 360 Glue and when to use Navisworks, and, if BIM 360 Glue is the new Navisworks in the cloud.
The truth is, they don’t replace each other, they complement each other by adding value to your process, by changing the way you and your project team are able to coordinate and do clash detection on your 3D models. Together BIM 360 Glue and Navisworks will give you a modern cloud based process that will minimize the amount of errors in your models, that will free up time for a model coordinator to do advanced clash detection such as avoidance and ruled based analysis and most important, the result will be higher quality on your models and fewer errors on site.
Let me explain how.
Think about the process for traditional clash detection, how designers send models to a model coordinator that merges the files in Navisworks. His job is now to analyze errors in the merge model, to do clash detection and document any type of collisions, some of the…
