If you only use Navisworks Manage for one thing, it should be Clash Detection. In traditional construction, you discover a pipe running through a steel beam during installation. In a BIM workflow, you discover it before breaking ground.
Since you are using Navisworks Manage (which has the Clash Detective feature), you might be looking for the results of a clash test.
Autodesk Navisworks Manage is the industry-standard project review software for Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC). Unlike modeling tools (Revit, AutoCAD, Civil 3D), it serves as a federated hub—aggregating multi-disciplinary models and data into a single environment. Its core differentiation lies in advanced 5D simulation (Time + Cost) and clash detection. This report confirms Navisworks Manage as a critical tool for risk mitigation, design validation, and construction sequencing on large-scale infrastructure and building projects. Navisworks Manage
If a steel beam doesn't have a property called "Level," you cannot easily sort by level. Before clashing, ensure model authors export Properties correctly from Revit (Project Parameters must be shared).
If you are trying to click on or highlight a specific part of the 3D model (like a beam, a pipe, or a wall), Navisworks refers to this as an Object or Item. If you only use Navisworks Manage for one
When reviewing a federated model, you need to communicate issues. Navisworks Manage allows you to create redline comments (text, arrows, clouds) directly in the 3D viewport or 2D sheets. These redlines are saved in the NWF and can be viewed by anyone with Freedom (viewer).

Construction is a sequence, not a snapshot. Navisworks Manage allows you to attach time data (4D) and cost data (5D) to your model via the Timeliner tool.
