Bentley Unveils ProjectWise Navigator for Design Review
Visual collaboration client complements ProjectWise
 HOUSTON,
Texas (daratechPLANT2007), January 30, 2007 – Bentley Systems, Incorporated
today unveiled
ProjectWise Navigator, the first visual collaboration client for design
review and analysis plus work packaging that fully supports iterative
workflows and reuse of all content throughout the process. This new desktop
tool complements the ProjectWise system of collaboration servers, which is
already used by nine of the top ten ENR 500 design firms to connect people
and information across their distributed enterprises.
Commenting on the new release, Buddy Cleveland, senior vice president,
Bentley Software, said, “Many users complain that ordinary design review
tools limit the use of their content through conversion prior to review and
analysis. This results in a scattering of design snapshots that can’t be put
together and content reused.
“With ProjectWise Navigator, project team members can review and enrich
original 2D and 3D design content assembled from their choice of hundreds of
applications and file stores. This promotes full design collaboration within
an iterative workflow and always cycles the enriched content back to the
design team.”
ProjectWise Navigator provides powerful collaboration and enrichment
capabilities across all lifecycle stages, including:
- Reviewing projects and designs in an immersive and visual
environment
- Analyzing and simulating construction schedules and assessing
buildability
- Producing intelligent, portable, and linked work packages for
construction and operations
ProjectWise Navigator can also operate in a managed environment in
conjunction with ProjectWise collaboration servers. The result is an
integrated, connected, secure, and versatile visual collaboration system for
successfully reviewing design iteratively across distributed enterprises.
Additional capabilities this provides include:
- Check-in/check-out transactions for secure work share
- Audit trail creation for insight into who did what and when
- Full text and component indexing for cross-enterprise searching
- Local Caching Servers for rapid LAN-like content access
- Automated and scheduled processing for printing and publishing
Cleveland added, “Up to now, reviewing project content has been difficult
because there was no single tool available to assemble it all in one place.
With the release of ProjectWise Navigator, Bentley brings such a tool to
market. Now, everyone involved in infrastructure projects can easily
assemble, review, enrich, and analyze original design content for visual
collaboration and can produce work packages in support of critical
construction and operations activities.”
ProjectWise Navigator includes many innovations by MicroStation to
provide support for a broad range of applications, industry standards, and
file formats. Some of the 2D/3D file formats and supported applications
include DGN, DWG, PDF, AutoPLANT, TriForma, PlantSpace, PDS, Google
SketchUp, Google Earth, IGES, STEP, JPEG, TIFF, and 3DS. In total,
ProjectWise Navigator can access 2D and 3D project content from hundreds of
AEC and infrastructure design applications.
ProjectWise Navigator is licensed with a ProjectWise Named User license.
The ProjectWise Named User license also grants the same user client-side
access to all other ProjectWise clients, to ProjectWise StartPoint, and to
all server-licensed instances of ProjectWise Integration Server and
ProjectWise Plot Server.
A demonstration being featured this week at daratechPLANT shows how
ProjectWise Navigator allows disparate parts of the overall design – in this
demo, a site mainly modeled in PlantSpace, a skid unit modeled in PDS, and a
power plant section modeled in AutoPLANT – to be assembled and visually
reviewed for fit, clashes, and constructability. The assembled view also
allows work that involves the entire plant – for example, inspection and
maintenance operations, reviewing site security, or placing scaffolding
throughout the site – to be efficiently packaged for bidding by contractors.
Also during the demonstration, a ruggedized tablet PC, connected to the
workstation by wireless networking, is shown accessing a live video camera
through a link in ProjectWise Navigator, highlighting its flexibility and
portability.
