Course Overview

This one-day course is for design professionals involved in BIM coordination or multi-discipline model review — aggregating models from Revit, Civil 3D, AutoCAD, Microstation, and other platforms into a federated environment for clash detection, sequencing, and model review. The course covers the Navisworks platform — file types, model navigation and insertion, coordinate system management, sectioning, object selection and modification, measurement, and markup — before moving into the two capabilities that make it indispensable on large projects. TimeLiner lets you link model geometry to a construction schedule and play back the build sequence to verify phasing and logistics. Clash Detective runs automated interference checks across the full model set and gives you a structured workflow for finding, assigning, and resolving conflicts. This is a one-day course with no prior Navisworks experience required — it works alongside whatever authoring tools your team already uses. By the end, you'll be able to federate a multi-discipline model, run a clash detection report, and build a 4D construction simulation.

Prerequisites

Basic understanding of 3D modeling.

Yes. Navisworks is offered as a live, instructor-led online class as well as in person at our Walnut Creek and Sacramento, California training centers. Online sessions cover the same curriculum.

What are the prerequisites for Navisworks?

Basic understanding of 3D modeling.

How long is Navisworks?

Navisworks runs 1 day. The exact dates and times for each scheduled session are listed on this page.

What's included with Navisworks?

Navisworks includes live instruction from an Autodesk-certified instructor, downloadable course materials and exercise files, a certificate of completion, and three months of free post-class support.

Which software does Navisworks cover?

Navisworks covers Navisworks. You'll work hands-on in the software throughout the class.

Is CAD Masters an Authorized Autodesk Training Center?

Yes. CAD Masters is an Autodesk Authorized Training Center (ATC) and one of the longer-standing ATCs in California. That designation means our curriculum, instructors, and facilities meet Autodesk's certification standards.

Who developed the course curriculum?

Our courses are written and continuously updated by our own certified instructors, not licensed from a generic training publisher. The exercises and workflows reflect how these tools are actually used in engineering, architecture, and design practice.

What's included with enrollment?

Every enrollment includes access to course materials developed by our instructors, a Certificate of Completion from an Autodesk Authorized Training Center, and access to your portal account where you can review materials after the course.

How large are the classes?

In-person sessions at our Walnut Creek and Sacramento locations are capped at 12 students so every student gets direct access to the instructor. Online sessions run live over Zoom with full interaction, not pre-recorded video.

Do you offer group or private training?

Yes. We run private sessions for teams and organizations: same curriculum, scheduled to fit your calendar, and tailored to your workflows when needed. Contact us for group pricing.

Can I attend online?

Yes. Our online sessions run live over Zoom with full instructor interaction and screen sharing, not pre-recorded video. The experience is equivalent to attending in person.
