The SafetiBase viewer plugin provides you with a convenient way for health and safety (H&S) and risk management. You can review existing risks or send new ones directly to 3D Repo, all without leaving the Navisworks application. Here I'll show how to do the following:
Load project risks
Create a new Risk
Specify a Risk treatment
Comment on Risks
Open/Add Resource
Initial Set Up
Download and install the plugin prior to opening Navisworks application
Open your 3D model in Navisworks (.nwd or .nwc)
Reference files without geometry such as NWF are not supported. You will need to save them as NWD first then follow the steps belowUse a Perspective Camera Viewpoint for better risk reviewing
Feel free to choose a federated model or hide/reveal model elements in the Selection Tree if necessary
Load Project Risks
Click on the SafetiBase icon located in the 3D Repo tab (main ribbon menu)

In the 3D Repo SafetiBase Viewer window provide your login details and click Login. You can switch between 3drepo.io or ca.3drepo.io as the domain server.
Navigate over to your model container by selecting the relevant Teamspace, Project and Model. SafetiBase pins are not supported in the Navisworks viewer.

Click on any of the Risks to see it in the model. That will update your camera position as per 3D Repo. To access more of the information about the risk, click on the grey arrow. Once you open a risk, you will get all of the information about it, including any comments & resources.

Filter Risks List
Use the search bar or the filter icon to reduce the list of risks you see in Navisworks. It's a great way to help you find what you need.

Or search by typing any keyword/phrase

Create a new Risk
You can create new risks, comments and markups in Navisworks and send them directly to 3D Repo. Other project members are able to review them in 3D Repo or their own Navisworks model using our plugin.
Click on the Plus button located at the bottom of the risks list.
Fill in the information required, just as you would do in 3D Repo
You can upload an image or take a screenshot of your model view
When you take a model screenshot (3D/2D View) you will be able to create a markup, just as you would do in 3D Repo
