Design Review

In an industry where projects involve multiple disciplines, multiple teams and multiple companies collaboration and coordination is critical at every level. Design Review software provides additional aids to this process with extra tools as well as the facility to involve a wider audience in the review and to manage the process more effectively.

Common CAD software can produce designs for review in special digital file formats such as PDF and DWF allowing more users with tools such as Autodesk Design Review to participate in the process. NavisWorks provides more powerful ways to integrate design data from various sources to make a more complete model and combine clash detection and construction sequencing while Autodesk Buzzsaw provides a simple but powerful way to manage collaboration and document distribution and control (and much more).
