Navisworks (previously known as JetStream[2]) is a 3D design review package for Microsoft Windows.
Used primarily in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries to complement 3D design packages (such as Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, and MicroStation), Navisworks allows users to open and combine 3D models; navigate around them in real-time (without the WASD possibility); and review the model using a set of tools including comments, redlining, viewpoint, and measurements.
A selection of plug-ins enhances the package adding interference detection, 4D time simulation, photorealistic rendering and PDF-like publishing.
[3] The software was originally created by Sheffield, UK based developer NavisWorks (a subsidiary of Lightwork Design).
[4] Navisworks (formerly JetStream) is built around a core module called Roamer and has a number of built-in functionalities:[5] Navisworks Simulate and Manage are most notable for its support for a wide range of design file formats.
