During 2019 we have talked a lot about features, workflows and technologies in our blogs. It’s now time for me as a Product Manager, to talk about our top 10 most used features in Naviate. The features that our customers really like and use in their daily work.

Benefits

These features are used daily, because they:

  • Save time
  • Increase control of data
  • Optimize and automate your workflows

Part of the Productivity tab:

Pile Numbering renumbers Piles and Pile Foundations in your project. You can choose start point and directions to go with "Sense of XY axis", or you can select piles in the order which you want to be marked.

All of these features are used daily and multiple times by customers of ours.

Did you know...

All these functions have been developed through direct interaction with thousands of users? We and our customer saw, very early on, the need to improve the Autodesk Revit platform.  Our first launch of this product portfolio was way back in 2008. So we added a set of integrated tools in Revit to improve productivity, design automation and control whilst enhancing the user experience.

Why don’t you give it a try and download a fully working version for 30 days!

I don’t think you will be disappointed in the capabilities you will see within our Naviate applications. We have a lot of help videos and white papers to support you during the testing.  Don’t you forget about our online help documentation as well
