Enhancing the model

About this task

If you have an Autodesk Navisworks license, there are several things you can do to improve the usefulness of the model in IBM® TRIRIGA®:
  1. Merging Files: You can add linked files to the Navisworks model by selecting: Home > Append.
  2. Setting the Default View: The Autodesk translation service uses the default view. This is what is displayed when you initially open the file, and is set by what is displayed when you save the view.
  3. Changing element visualization: There are several ways the visual aspect of elements can be customized all of which require locating and selecting all instances of the item. One way of doing this is with the Selection Tree. Navigate to the desired item set, and right-click to see a list of options. One useful approach is to use Revit Categories. These can be found at: Element, Category, Name.

    Suggested enhancements including:
    • Decreasing the transparency and changing the color of rooms
    • Hiding all spaces except those explicitly integrated with TRIRIGA, for those that are integrated, setting the transparency and color to match Rooms
    • Color coding key assets or color-coding asset by category
