Software Integration

VFC is a partner of CodeMill Software Developer (Finland) – We are an official US re-seller for NAVISTOOLS Suite of plugins (NavisTools Standard, Clash Manager and IFC Exporter) for use with Autodesk Navisworks and REVITTOOLS for Autodesk Revit.

NavisTools Standard

includes NavisTools Data Manager and Reporter modules and is a plugin for Autodesk Navisworks and provides various functionality to manipulate and populate data to the Navisworks database. The plugin also allows to exchange data between the Navisworks model database and external databases including Microsoft Excel and Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Management Studio. Another unique feature allows the user to track the status of model elements by assigning a unique color to them based on different user-defined conditions.

Clash Manager is plugin for Autodesk Navisworks and adds functionality to its clash detective tool. Clash Manager introduces several novel features to assist the user to manage clashes. One feature includes using clash markers for grouping clashes. Clash markers are spherical elements automatically placed in the model graphical space to identify clashes detected. Another unique feature of Clash Manager is an advanced grouping option. Users can group clashes automatically based on multiple criteria.  The clash reports feature facilitates coordination and resolution of clashes. Multiple view of a clash and clash data provided in the report help users to identify clash location and better understand the clash.

RevitTools

IFC Exporter is plugin for Autodesk Navisworks and allows for exporting Navisworks files to the IFC format (IFC2x3 or IFC4). Exported Navisworks model items can be mapped to corresponding IFC objects. This plugin will export both the model geometry (BREP) and the related data (Property Sets).

RevitTools is a plugin for Autodesk Revit and provides functionality for managing BIM model data and exporting the data to external databases (Excel). RevitTools allows users to extract and tabulate model elements listing their Revit category, family, and type. It also allows users to create user-defined shared parameters and values. Parameter values can be directly entered in RevitTools tables and then embedded in the model, or parameters can be exported to external spreadsheets for the values to be entered then exported back and embedded in the model. Web links and external files can also be embedded in the model and attached to model elements. Another unique feature allows the user to track the status of model elements by assigning a unique color to them based on different user-defined conditions. This is a similar function to the one provided by NavisTools.
