NAVISWORKS SIMULATE VS AUTODESK QUANTITY TAKEOFF SOFTWARE
If you have QTO through a suite (and have that software on subscription), you will have access to both the Navisworks 2014 quantification workflow and the QTO 2013 workflow. At some point, you will probably want to make the transition from one to the other. However, it would appear that the focus of development for 3D or Model takeoff has migrated over to Navisworks.Īnyone who has QTO as a stand-alone product can continue working as they are today, but if you do 3D takeoffs, you will need to keep an eye on the developments of Quantification in Navisworks. Updates will be made as needed to maintain functionality with current Autodesk software releases, and there might be an opportunity to enhance the 2D takeoff features of QTO as time moves on.

It would seem to me that QTO is going to remain as-is for the foreseeable future.

Instead, Autodesk is building 3D quantification features into Navisworks Simulate 2014 and Navisworks Manage 2014.” Position the model text component outside of the building model in an easily viewed area from the standard isometric views. Working in a 4D template, use model text based component to add notes to the 4D model. The links in DataTools were also created in imported (from xml) into both to see if which program they were created in made a difference (which it didn't).“Autodesk has not and is not releasing a 2014 version of QTO. The only extra geometry you may add using Revit are the key milestone indicators. File>Options>Model>performance>Collapse on Convert has been switched to None and 'All Objects' with no discernible affect to how the data is presented I'm using the Excel method to get data into the model. But the pumps were fine in both cases.ĭoes anyone have any ideas as to why Simulate and Manage would 'act' differently? Notes:

For example, I could only get the equipment information to show up for the tanks after importing the datatools xml file. But it looks different in Simulate than it does in Manage.įurther to this, when using Manage, DataTools does exactly what I want first time around, while in Simulate it tends to be clunky and sometimes does not present the information properly. In the examples shown below, I am 99% sure I imported and generated the data the exact same way in both programs. I have a specific question about using the DataTools functionality as it appears to not work the same between Simulate and Manage. Hello.I am new to the forum and new to Navisworks in general.
