Review – Navisworks in VR with IrisVR Prospect

From the Applied Software website:

AutoCAD Plant 3D/Navisworks in VR

By David Wolfe
September 11, 2018

I had the opportunity today to work with a friend, Corey Arledge at Eledeco Inc., to get a Navisworks model up and running in a HTC Vive headset. One of the most exciting Navisworks plugin for Plant 3d is the Iris VR Prospect. The Iris VR plugin to Navisworks makes running a VR session push-button easy.

The workflow is fairly straight-forward and the Iris VR has the best Navisworks plugin installer I’ve ever seen (it just works…).  Here’s a helpful link to the details about what gets integrated with Navisworks + VR.

Here are the steps to get going:

1. Install Navisworks
2. Install Prospect
3. Push your Navisworks model to VR (I recommend using a nwd file)
4. Connect Headset
5. View VR

Install Navisworks

First, you have to use Navisworks Manage, so make sure that’s installed. It’s a large install (~10GB) so give yourself plenty of time. Once installed Navisworks Manage is available on the desktop or through the Start menu.

Navisworks to Google Cardboard: How to View Clashes in VR

From the IrisVR website:

Posted by Leah Kovach on Dec 20, 2018 4:53:30 PM

Virtual reality has become an invaluable tool for VDC and pre-construction teams because it allows you to review spaces - and clashes - in true 1:1 scale. But it’s equally important to document what’s found during these meetings so that everyone is on the same page when the meeting ends.

This Navisworks to VR workflow allows you to run visual clash detection via Navisworks Clash Detective, view those clashes in VR, create 360-degree panoramas to document those clashes, and then review and share those clashes using a Google Cardboard. After you’ve reviewed clashes, the panorama serves as an easily accessible record of the clash.
