Week 4 – Navisworks Preliminary 4D Model
Through collaboration with teammates from all universities, the University of Washington will lead the development of the 4D model during this week's meeting using tools in the virtual world to ensure that their teammates from IIT are familiar with the 4D modeling process. Teams will be encouraged to work collaboratively so that during the 4D modeling phase, modifications to the 3D Revit model, cost estimate, and schedule will be noted and incorporated during the model optimization phase in Weeks 8 and 9. Develop the 4D model to represent the construction logic used on site as accurately as possible. Observe any sequencing, spatial or material consumption issues that arise.
Things to think about when designing this collaborative 4D model:
Deliverable: At the end of this week’s session, UW will submit the preliminary Navisworks model to Professor Dossick.

Things to think about when designing this collaborative 4D model:
- You will need to review the 3D model to understand the geometries so you can use them to develop the visual sequence of work. For example, as your team has developed the schedule, you may have wanted to divide the slab into two parts to do two different pours, but the model only shows a single slab. You either have to change the schedule or change the model to match. Alternatively, you can try using two different colors to abstract the two different pours using the single slab.
- You will be working with and coordinating with the schedulers (VT) with regard to a schedule.
Deliverable: At the end of this week’s session, UW will submit the preliminary Navisworks model to Professor Dossick.
