  • open and append 3D files of different formats and save them in NAVISWORKS format
  • create links to external scheduling files and object properties in external databases (4th Dimension)
  • perform visual project model reviews using the built-in review and reporting tools
  • create construction simulations of a project model to check the validity of construction schedules
  • perform interference detection tests between 3D files of different disciplines to check the integrity of the design

Registration is limited to 6 persons.  Students will be participating in an on-line course in the Boardroom at the OCA where they will be in contact with an instructor on conference call.    Students are responsible for providing their own laptops.
