BIM Navigator is a powerful tool for library and project parameter management in Revit. Bringing to bear the combined power of Smart Browser and BIM Tree Manager, it lets users review parameters from different angles to give maximum control — from family management and modification to quality control of projects.
For a side-by-side break-down of the two arms of BIM Navigator, see the table below.
And if you’d like to see more about BIM Navigator, join our webinar on Thursday, December 7, 2017! It’s geared toward anyone and everyone involved in the BIM workflow — Revit modelers, BIM managers, BIM analysts, BIM evangelists, team leads, MEP engineers, architects, designers, structural engineers, and contractors.
