In Navisworks, you can easily communicate design issues with comments, markups, and tags.
00:12
You can draw directly in the 3D model using lines, shapes, or text to highlight areas of concern, such as clashes or design changes.
00:24
These markups are saved with viewpoints, making it easy to share your comments with other team members during reviews.
00:32
This enables everyone to see the highlighted issues and proposed solutions, streamlining collaboration and issue resolution.
00:42
In addition to text and shapes, you can also add tags,
00:46
which combine the features of markups, viewpoints, and comments into a single, easy to use review tool.
00:54
A tag places a marker, rather than text, in the Scene View.
00:60
Once the tag is placed, you can review the comments in the order in which they were added.
01:06
Tags enable you to see who added or edited a tag and also to search for comments.
01:13
In this example, a measurement has already been added.
01:18
To add some context to this measurement, from the Review tab, Markup panel, click Text.
01:27
In the Scene View, click the location where you want to place the text.
01:32
Enter your markup text, and then click OK.
01:37
The markup is added to the selected viewpoint.
01:42
Note that if you change the viewpoint, you will only see the markups in that view.
01:48
You can also use the drawing tools to further emphasize your markup.
01:54
From the Draw drop-down, select a drawing style, such as Cloud,
02:00
and then click in the viewpoint to begin drawing the arcs of the cloud.
02:05
Each time you click, a new point is added.
02:10
To terminate the cloud, right-click in the Scene View.
02:15
The Tags panel enables you to add and manage tags.
02:20
Click Add Tag, and then, in the Scene View, click the point or object that you want to tag.
02:29
In the Add Comments dialog, enter the text to associate with the tag,
02:34
and set the Status of the comment to New, Active, Approved, or Resolved.
02:42
In this case, select New.
02:46
When you click OK, the tag is now available for anyone to view.
