There is a quicker way to set up Search Sets by Category. In the Selection Tree, switch from Standard to Properties view. Then, locate Category and expand to Name. Select the Category Name and save as a Search Set. This way it sets up your Find Items automatically. Also, you can use Shift and CTRL select to add multiple properties to your Search Set or manually create an And condition in Find Items.

Great Job. Hope UK Service Consultants are watching and implement design stage co-ordination as Jeff suggests which would save us Contractors loads of pain trying to co-ordinate your models.
Really great content. That modelling cycle you described is oh so familiar for me, so often the problems we are identifying in shop drawings for MEP are clashes which should really have been picked up by the person modelling the original design services. Feels good to hear someone else venting over it
for sharing clash detection to another consultant, i will use “reports”. but that reports should include Elements ID. Then the consultant can use “searching id tool” to locate where the clash detection is easily in Revit model. Also you can create new 3D view in revit for clash detection. then using dynamo to highlight (or assign) the clashed elements in color by clash detection Elements ID.
I talk a bit about my "clash points" script for Dynamo here (therevitkid.blogspot.com/2017/10/why-i-learned-dynamo-and-two-things-i.html) . I thought I posted a video about the scripts itself but it doesn't look like I did.
Doing that would awesome, but having a 3d of even 1 part of a level with all services on destroys my computer. Can you guys recommend a good rig to get? Currently using 3 workstations and the fastest one has I7 8700k, 500gb nvme, 32gb ddr4 (forot the speed) and rx580. I have a feeling even 10k rig would still struggle.
I guess im asking randomly but does anybody know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me.
@Darian Cairo Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Yeah this is undoiable in my country where mepfp draw in 2D cad program and structural enginer use cad for drawing after using etabs or sap2000 for calculation , civil is the same. ;/
I have been importing models from bim360 vie the coordinate tab in Navis and you can get completely hosed in a coordination meeting if someone on the team makes modifications to the publish settings then publishes before the meeting begins. I had a structural model disappear from my session removing all clashes with structure.
Are there AS-BUILT info as you go (not as-builts but changes that need to be tracked). Im sure ppl cut corners. It seem like designs may say something by MEP my change in the field effecting others. What do you recomment.
The coordination models are updated to reflect as built conditions… it is a contractural obligation by all of the contractors and we use laser scanning and other reality capture methods to make sure it is happening.
Do you find it easier to use the search sets or have NWCs broken into specific trades by floors? I’m sure that it will vary depending on the size of the project, but curious of your preference. I’ve been using Navis for 10+ years but I always like to watch things like this to hopefully learn some new ways of doing things. Was a great show!
Yes, of course it’s easier to run model to model when it’s available… with trades it’s a bit easier because they usually model each discipline within its own model… however, a design MEP engineer will most likely model it ALL in one model … hence the power of search sets. Also, even if a trade contractor make separate files it’s still great to know how to pick certain pieces of those files for coordination …
@@TheRevitKid Thank you for the reply! Anyone in this trade knows time is of the essence and anyway I can save some sounds great to me! Thanks again for the videos.
So glad you enjoyed! Due to various reasons, I can't actually share the PDF file itself. Sorry! Doesn't mean you can't just try to pause this video here and there and make your own.. ;P
@@TheRevitKid No worries! Thank you very much for the video, it's very insightful! Describing the broader context and not only the tools of Navisworks was key! Because if you don't get the purpose, in the end a tool is just a tool... Keep up the great work !
Hey Jeff, can you make a detailed video about the 4D timeliner of Navisworks. How can we use it as a real planning tool on construction site? Can we export weekly reports?
Hi, I have Revit 2022 and Navisworks 2022 trial, but the External Tools isn't in the Add-Ins. Can you please send me a link for the file exporter to save the files in NWC format- Navisworks Exporters?
Hi, just wondering is this 3D model coordination diagram that you are showing only available in your bimafterdark community? As I would like to learn more about the whole process and check out what you have have written. Can you let me know if this information has been made available in your blog or only in your bimafterdark community.
QUESTION: SAY I HAVE FILE A AND FILE B, WHEN I LINK B TO A WHILE IN FILE A, VIEW RANGE CUT PLAN ON 4FT TALL WHY IT IS NOT ABLE TO CUT (REMOVE ROOF ON FILE B) WHICH IS ABOVE MY CUT PLAN. OR AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG OR THIS IS STILL THE PROBLEM WITH REVIT 2022 ? It is all align at right place
I'm new to your channel and navisworks, I have a navisworks 3d model of piping in a facility but I was wondering if you had a video that shows you how to filter or highlight a certain line/ piping where I can clearly see it from start to finish and print it, maybe you already have a video about it. I would like to get more expierence using navisworks.....at least I think that's the one I need disect each line in a 3D where I can see ever turn and tie-inn point. help help please.
Hey! Welcome! You should be able to do this in navisworks depending on what authoring tool was used to create the initial models. You might be able to just use the selection tree in Navisworks. If not, do a google search about “search sets” in Navisworks. I don’t have any videos on it but I’m sure there are some out there! Good luck!
Pay for x ask for y. Yes its important and would be a dream if already completed - having said that, n oon is paying for that unless they have been previously burned by circumstance from not doing it. All comes to $$$
34:14 My only gripe with this channel is these non-sequitors. Please stay on topic until you've finished the current idea/sentence.

re: engineering - at 21:00, they should NEVER re-design, they should STOP call engineering and have a meeting, if design was done by engineering, then by any form of re-design, you are erasing any engineering done by the engineer.
Also, the language tics such as "Right?" and "Okay?" (tossed in about every ten "right"s) are very distracting. If you can constrain your leaning on these filler words during presentations it would be very helpful.

Search sets in Navisworks is the way to group specific unique selections or searches for clashing.

Hello. I love this video. Can you make a video for the railing you just made in this project. I want to learn it techniques in revit.

Thanks!! 😬 ... I made that diagram myself. In Revit.

Yes, always give yourself enough time for the models to "process"!! One day it will be "fast enough". Or, maybe not. ;)

As I would like to learn more about the whole process and check out what you have have written. Can you let me know if this information has been made available in your blog or only in your bimafterdark community.

@@paulandrada7940 haha naturally!!! 😝
Will email you once ive subscribed! Thanks!! 🤣
Gosh.
I love my job.
Every design-team use his software the problem is to coordinate the models from different software.
QUESTION:
SAY I HAVE FILE A AND FILE B, WHEN I LINK B TO A
WHILE IN FILE A, VIEW RANGE CUT PLAN ON 4FT TALL
WHY IT IS NOT ABLE TO CUT (REMOVE ROOF ON FILE B) WHICH IS ABOVE MY CUT PLAN.
OR AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG OR THIS IS STILL THE PROBLEM WITH REVIT 2022 ?
It is all align at right place
Did you check to make sure file B is coming in at the right elevation?
Can you extract resource graphs from Navisworks? Like lets say how many workers are on the field each day
If that information is built into the model there are ways to extract it... But, I would not use Navisworks for that process.
I just came across your Rocky Mountain house project. Has that been constructed anywhere?
Also does volume 1 take you through modeling the house or do we need to buy your book?

re: engineering - at 21:00, they should NEVER re-design, they should STOP call engineering and have a meeting, if design was done by engineering, then by any form of re-design, you are erasing any engineering done by the engineer.
Exactly my point... imagine how much it DELAYS a project when coordination is forced to stop and re-designing has to be done.
Also, the language tics such as "Right?" and "Okay?" (tossed in about every ten "right"s) are very distracting. If you can constrain your leaning on these filler words during presentations it would be very helpful.
Thank you for the lesson in public speaking... 👌
