Take control of project delivery using Quantification tools.

Simulate the delivery of projects using timeliner tools.

Perform powerful coordination, using clash detection to identify, and manage the resolution of issues before they reach the site.Easily navigate and review your projects.Open, append and merge files into your Navisworks projects, supporting geometry and data, to open up the powerful workflows available in Navisworks to your project teams: It also had several plug-ins that gave users added tools for rendering architectural images, such as the EASYnat plug-in for 3-dimensional flora.Use this plugin to enable Autodesk® Navisworks® Simulate and Autodesk® Navisworks® Manage versions 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 to read Intergraph SmartPlant 3D (.vue) files. Instead, it handled radiosity, transformative animations, object substitution, and of course, the production of the image from the specified model/drawing. Only the actual drawing geometry would be edited with Architectural Desktop, since VIZ Render was incapable of handling that. Once object geometrics have been set, users would turn to VIZ Render for the rest of the work, using its Materials palette to assign materials to surfaces, setting lighting options and camera locations, defining textures and colors, and so on. A user could link files in the two to see how a design from Architectural Desktop would look once produced in a full 3D form by VIZ Render, and if so desired, could edit the design to trigger equivalent alterations in the 3D form produced by the VIZ Render software.

Autodesk Architectural Desktop is essentially the editing program for designs, and Autodesk would serve as the rendering (visualizing or producing) end of the Autodesk model production process. Autodesk VIZ Render is a rendering program that used to be bundled with Autodesk’s Architectural Desktop software.
