What
Create a federated model with 3D models and sheets
A federated model is a combined building information model that is compiled from
several BIM models from different disciplines into one. The input models are read-only
and can include 2D documentation such as sheets.
Owners are demanding BIM technology, and they are increasingly involved during the
entire project, One of the primary roles of an owner is to monitor the BIM process in all
stages of design and construction, and into operations. Owners can use federated
models to visualize, share, review, and validate BIM projects using 3D/2D information
from a single file
Architects, engineers, contractors, and subcontractors use federated models for
different objectives like collaboration, coordination, bidding, or reviewing workflows.
The owner may specify a federated model deliverable in the contract.
Who
BIM managers, VDC managers, construction managers, architects, engineers, owners.
How
Use Autodesk Navisworks to merge all the different 3D/2D BIM information in one single
file,

1. In Autodesk Navisworks, merge models created from different design tools and
disciplines. Autodesk Navisworks is compatible with more than 50 file formats.
2. Add 2D sheets as DWF or DWF« files.
Note: If the 3D model and 2D sheets are from Autodesk Revit, you can search for an
element across all prepared sheets and models as follows:
3. Publish an NWD file as a federated model with the 3D/2D models imported. You can
set a password required to open the file. You can also set an expiration date in case

4. Open, visualize, and review the federated NWD file with Autodesk Navisworks
Freedom and Autodesk Navisworks Manage.
Why
+ Owners can visualize, review, and validate projects using one single file with all the
disciplines and 2D documentation included during construction phases.
+ Owners can require a federated model as a deliverable in the contract. This is like a
PDF file requirement for non-BIM projects

+ You can share the project with read-only access to different stakeholders for
coordination, bidding, or reviewing workflows.
+ The federated model file provides access to model hierarchy, sheets, object
properties, and embedded review data. Review data includes viewpoints, animations,
redlines, and comments.
Collaboration is key in BIM projects; federated models give stakeholders equal
access to explore and experience whole projects using Navisworks Freedom as a
viewing tool.
What's next?
Discover BIM 360 Docs as a CDE (common data environment) solution. Upload 3D, 2D,
and federated models to a shared data environment where you can provide access to the
right people.
