Automated BIM Coordination: Clash Detection in Revit and Navisworks

Relying on manual checks to find design errors in complex construction projects is slow, unreliable, and highly prone to expensive onsite mistakes. Transitioning to automated coordination is the key to delivering error-free models and saving valuable project resources. This text-based course guides you through the fundamentals of BIM quality control, teaching you how to systematically analyze digital models, run automated checks, and coordinate multiple project disciplines. By reading through clear explanations and structured examples, you will learn to identify clashes before they reach the construction site, ensuring seamless collaboration across teams. What you'll learn: - Understand the foundational concepts of BIM coordination, model federation, and quality control workflows. - Navigate and analyze architectural, structural, and MEP models in Revit and Navisworks. - Configure automated clash detection rules to identify spatial conflicts and design discrepancies. - Group, filter, and prioritize clash results to focus on critical structural issues first. - Track and resolve design issues using modern collaboration standards and clash report workflows. - Implement openBIM principles and standardized data formats for smoother inter-disciplinary coordination. The course starts with essential terminology and the core principles of BIM coordination before moving into practical step-by-step written guides. You will read real-world scenarios on how to set up federated models, run clash tests, and coordinate resolutions between different engineering teams. This course is designed for beginning BIM coordinators, architects, design engineers, and project managers looking to automate their quality control processes. No prior coordination experience is required, though a basic familiarity with construction terminology is helpful.
