Go to Options > Model > Units and ensure "Rescale on file merge" is set correctly. The Future: Is Navisworks Manage Dying? Given Autodesk's push toward cloud workflows (Autodesk Docs, BIM Collaborate, ACC), many younger engineers wonder if the desktop version of Navisworks Manage is obsolete.

The team runs clash tests. The results are saved as a list of "Clash Groups." These clashes are assigned to specific team members (e.g., "Clash #45 assigned to Electrical Team"). The contractor exports a report to share with the design team. naviswork manage

You can now view the same model in the office (Manage) and on an iPad (BIM 360) with the same clash data synced. The software is not being replaced; it is being connected. Conclusion: Why Your Next Project Needs Navisworks Manage If you are building anything that involves multiple trades intersecting—a hospital, a data center, a stadium—you have two options. You can find clashes on site with a torch and a grinder (costing months of delays), or you can find them in a computer screen before concrete is poured. Problem: Clash Detective says a pipe hits a
