Hi Everyone,

 

Can I know what is the difference between Navisworks and Revit? My planning manager just bought a Navisworks software.

Both Navisworks and Revit are BIM software and belong to Autodesk. What is the difference?

 

Why Navisworks?

Why Revit?

 

Thank you for your time.

 

Kind regards,

Planner

Revit is used to create the 3D models and Navisworks to create the 5D models (adding in the 3D model, the time and costs component).

Have a look in the below links:

I'm no expert but...  Revit to create the design model, Navisworks to complete the full design review?

I'm sure the Autocad website has a better explanation!
