What is NavVis IVION?

NavVis IVION transforms NavVis scan data into interactive digital twins accessible from any web browser. The platform hosts point clouds and 360 panoramic imagery, enabling teams to navigate facilities virtually, take measurements, and collaborate on documentation.

What sets IVION apart is its enterprise focus: role-based access control, integration with Autodesk Revit, and API access for custom applications. Organizations can share specific areas with contractors while keeping sensitive sections restricted.

At THE FUTURE 3D, NavVis IVION is our primary delivery platform for large facility scans. Clients access their digital twins through simple web links, measure distances, and share specific viewpoints with their teams.

NavVis IVION FAQ

What is NavVis IVION?

NavVis IVION is the cloud platform for hosting and viewing NavVis scan data. It provides browser-based access to point clouds and 360 imagery for facility documentation and collaboration.

Is NavVis IVION free?

IVION Core is included with NavVis hardware. Enterprise features (Revit add-in, API access, SSO) require additional subscription.

Can IVION import non-NavVis scans?

IVION is optimized for NavVis data. While some import is possible, the platform is designed for the NavVis ecosystem. For multi-format needs, consider Autodesk ReCap.

How accurate are IVION measurements?

Measurement accuracy inherits from source NavVis scan data (typically 5mm or better). The web viewer enables point-to-point distance, area, and height measurements.

Does IVION work with Revit?

Yes, IVION Enterprise includes a Revit add-in for direct point cloud reference during BIM modeling. This enables scan-to-BIM workflows.

Can stakeholders access without software?

Yes, IVION is browser-based. Stakeholders only need a modern web browser and link access. No software installation required.

Is IVION suitable for small projects?

IVION is designed for facility documentation with ongoing hosting needs. For one-time deliverables, static exports may be more appropriate.
