While advanced takeoff is usually done in dedicated estimating software, Navisworks has robust tools. It extracts physical quantities (e.g., cubic meters of concrete, linear feet of piping) directly from the federated model. This allows estimators to perform "model-based takeoffs," drastically reducing manual counting errors.
