Acknowledgments

First, we want to thank Autodesk and the Navisworks team for creating such a great product. Product development can be a long, drawn-out process, but it has been particularly satisfying to watch Navisworks grow and mature over the years. Thank you for listening to all the users and helping advance this wonderful piece of technology.

Second, we want to thank those who have made personal contributions to this book, including Chris Bushong from Gensler, C.W. Driver, and many others too numerous to mention. Thank you for your valuable case studies and other contributions. They have helped to make this a Mastering book.

Finally, we would like to thank some of the behind-the-scenes team members. Thanks to Michael Smith, our technical editor, for helping keep the wheels from falling off some of the chapters. We also want to thank development editor Susan Herman for being hard-working and diligent enough to help us move beyond our sometimes elementary English grammar skills. We also want to thank Willem Knibbe for three things: first, for helping us work through the idea that this book was going to be a fun and adventurous process (because it was); second, that we should seek a coauthor because it would make the adventure better (and it did); and third, for keeping us on track—we could not have done it without you!
