Takeoff to the next level with Navisworks® 2D and 3D Quantification Jason Dodds – Sanveo, Inc

CS9905-L

Every building truly does have its price! One of the most time-consuming items during the estimation process is to perform and complete a building takeoff. In this session, we teach you how to use Navisworks Manage 2016 Quantification workflows to help you minimize your time doing quantification. We use 3D models (Autodesk® Revit® Architecture software) and 2D DWF documents to complete our tasks in this class. You learn to understand the Navisworks Manage 2016 Quantification software interface, the tools in the software, and leave the class feeling ready to tackle the coming quantification challenges.

LearningObjectivesAt the end of this class, you will be able to:

• Analyze, validate, and export data into XLS format

• Explain the concepts and processes behind 2D, virtual and model takeoff

• Use new workflows that Navisworks Manage Quantification provides to develop catalogs for enhancing the quantification process

• Learn functionality of Navisworks 2016 quantification tools
