But it was buggy, lacked clash results, and was eventually deprecated. The story here is that Autodesk realized a standalone mobile viewer cannibalized their cloud subscription model.
This is the modern successor. It allows field teams to view 3D models, create "Issues" based on Navisworks clashes, and navigate complex geometry using touch gestures. BIM 360 Mobile: naviswork mobile
Small contracting firms or trade partners who receive weekly NWD snapshots from the GC. The electrician can download the latest NWD on their phone and check if their tray has space before bending a single pipe. Then came (a free mobile app, short-lived)
Field crews can navigate complex 3D models using intuitive touch gestures. You can hide/isolate elements (like ductwork or piping) to see exactly what needs to be installed behind a wall or above a ceiling. 2. Issue Tracking & BIM Coordination If a "clash" or error is found on-site: Create an directly on the 3D model. Attach a photo from the mobile device camera. The story here is that Autodesk realized a
