Hi all,
Is there an option in Navisworks to export the progress data ( like Quantity achieved, Cost achieved) as on a particular date?
Is there an option to display the quantity progress in overlay text during Simulation?
So far no!
But you can assign cost in your schedule (To major WBS) and you can make it visible in the simulation.
Thanks for the reply.
What about the qty progress being displayed instead of % progress. Do you have any idea?
The main use of simulation is to find any potential problems in the construction process. For getting out the cost, qty, etc....We should use project management software such as Microsoft project, Primavera, etc. ...Actually there is no use of displaying cost or quantity in the simulation since it wont give you any reliable idea whether we are in loss or profit.
What you pointed out is exactly right. simply displaying cost or quantity will not give any fruitful result. SO that is the reason I want to extract the data, so that I can interpolate and get some results in an external source like Excell.
My basic Idea is to use the quantity part from Revit (3D model) and link it with progress from MSP or Primavera. Hope someone can help me out with a link that can extract the data from Navis.
