Navisworks 7 Arabic Explanation

Navisworks Rendering & Material Management – Briefing Summary

This briefing outlines key features of rendering and material workflows in Navisworks, focusing on Autodesk’s shift to a unified rendering engine, material tools, lighting controls, and export options.

🚀 1. Evolution of Rendering Engines

• Pre-2015: Used both Presenter and Autodesk Renderer.

• Post-2015: Autodesk Renderer became the sole standard, offering better integration with Revit and 3ds Max.

• ✅ Benefit: Materials created in Revit or 3ds Max remain consistent when imported into Navisworks, ensuring a smoother workflow.

🧱 2. Material Management

📁 2.1 Autodesk Renderer (Current)

• Drag & Drop or Assign to Selection.

• Integrated with Autodesk material libraries.

• Customize or create project-specific materials.

• Filter to show only materials used in the current project.

⚙️ 2.2 Rule-Based Matching

• Auto-assign materials based on naming conventions.

• Enhances efficiency across Primavera, Revit, 3ds Max, Navisworks.

• Ideal for large projects with standardized naming systems.

🧾 2.3 Legacy: Presenter (Deprecated)

• Previously allowed basic drag & drop, editing, and saving.

• No longer supported after 2015.

💡 3. Lighting

• Add Point or Spot lights.

• Use Sun & Sky settings for outdoor lighting realism.

• Adjust intensity, direction, and environmental effects.

🖥️ 4. Rendering & Export

🔧 4.1 Render Settings

• Presets: Low, Medium, High.

• Time-based: Coffee Break (~10 min), Lunch (~1 hr), Overnight (~12 hrs).

• Light Quality: Simple → Advanced.

📤 4.2 Export Options

• Images: PNG, JPG, BMP with defined resolution & anti-aliasing.

• Videos: Export TimeLiner or current animations (choose FPS, aspect ratio, quality).

✅ 5. Key Takeaways

• Stick to Autodesk Renderer for future-proofing.

• Leverage naming consistency across platforms for efficient workflows.

• Use low-quality previews before full renders.

• Avoid deprecated Presenter workflows in future projects.
