Throughout all phases of a construction project, multi-disciplinary team members need to collaborate and communicate with one another. There are multiple tools and technologies that are used to facilitate those interactions from informal/unstructured mechanisms (e.g. phone calls, emails, face-to-face meetings) to highly structured and contractual systems (e.g. cost, change or bid management systems). Most project teams need a system that provides structured, audited, and controlled interactions between team members for tracking formal but not contractual interactions typically referred to as an issue tracking system. ‘Issues’ can comprise questions, clarifications, notifications, descriptions, and alerts across the entire project team. The issue tracking system provides a mechanism to document issues, assign responsibility, and view the status of how the issue resolution is progressing.

The Navisworks Coordination Issues Add-In connects BIM managers and trade partners to project team contributors in Autodesk® Forma® to work on a single source of truth model data, better group and organize Navisworks clashes, and efficiently batch create and respond to issues. Issues created on RVT models are accessible within the Autodesk® Revit® Issues Add-in to aid resolution. With this round-trip workflow, issues are created in either Forma or Navisworks and are viewable and actionable in both, bringing the best of each environment to your next project.

The Autodesk® Navisworks® Coordination Issues Add-In with Navisworks 2024 further extends connection to Autodesk Forma, now providing cloud managed Navisworks data enabling multi-user participation on desktop. Save and edit Model Coordination aggregated Views directly from Navisworks. Automatic NWF management facilitates multi-Navisworks user workflows and includes Navisworks-data merging.

The Model Coordination app with Forma enables the creation of coordination spaces with the auto-clash process disabled, benefiting Navisworks users utilizing Clash Detective. These spaces provide direct access to the latest model versions published to Autodesk Docs.

Note: This app uses a custom installer (and not the standard App Store installer).
