In the AECO industry, sustainability is strongly influenced by decisions made early in a project. Long before construction begins, planning and design choices shape which materials are used, what standards and limits need to be met, and how assets perform over time.

Infrastructure design is evolving—and so should your volume calculations. When working with complex structures like pipe trenches and superstructures, precision is key. In this blog, we introduce a smart and streamlined method using Naviate for Civil 3D to calculate volumes accurately and avoid overlaps. The example shown in this post is based on a Swedish template but can be applied to any Naviate template, showcasing how Naviate empowers infrastructure professionals to work more efficiently.

Everything you draw in AutoCAD and Civil 3D is placed in a coordinate system, even if you haven't decided what coordinate system you use. It is always a good idea to, from the very beginning to consider your coordinates. It's always easier to do it right from the start.

In this latest Naviate Rebar discovery session we take a look at our new feature, Rebar Collision, which checks for reinforcement clashes.Rebar clashes can cause serious issues on site and becomes a huge problem with large diameter bars with dense, complex arrangements. The clashing bars cannot simply be moved to another location as this often causes issues in other areas. Of course, having a 3D model helps to find the clashing rebar but this is still a manual task.

In the world of MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) design, speed and accuracy is the name of the game. Designers, engineers, and other professionals are always looking for new ways to streamline processes and tackle challenges in complex projects. And, while Revit is a powerful design tool for automation and workflows… let’s just say it could be better.
