The Western U.S.'s largest provider of computer-aided design (CAD) services and products, U.S. CAD™, and its largest Autodesk® solutions reseller, has been authorized to sell Autodesk's NavisWorks® software solutions throughout the Western region.

Enabling project design and building professionals to unite their work into a single, synchronized building information model (BIM), NavisWorks is a set of widely used software solutions. At the Ecobuild America and AEC-ST conference, May 19-22 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim Calif, U.S. CAD also will present Autodesk workshops and seminars and exhibit sustainable design solutions.

Regardless of the format they were created in, NavisWorks enables team members, with its neutral viewing environment, to reliably combine, share, review and perfect detailed 3D design models of any size. NavisWorks products enable, by combining the high-quality information created by BIM applications such as Autodesk Revit®-based software with geometry and data from other design tools, a real-time, whole-project view for effective 3D coordination, photorealistic visualization, 4D planning, dynamic simulation and accurate analysis.

CEO of U.S. CAD, Danny Counts, declared: "NavisWorks enables all members of a project team to visualize the entire project, before it's ever completed - in fact, before it's even started". "It's an invaluable tool for improving design decision-making, construction documentation, performance prediction and planning, even management and operation of the facility upon completion."

Counts added: "We're pleased to offer NavisWorks to our design- and building-industry customers, and we have the expertise to help them take full and immediate advantage of the technology to develop better building designs, and save time and money in the process".
