It’s been four years since we acquired Naviate Daylight, but we remember it like it was yesterday. We remember it because all of us were very excited to get our hands on a software solution that enables you to calculate and simulate the daylight performance of your building, and on top of it, to do that based on country-specific standards. Our customers screamed for this! And again, on top of that, all within Revit!

Ever since Naviate was launched we've been lucky to see the number of users grow. This growth of skilled and knowledgeable users hasn't been accessible to anyone outside each company joining us though. We've been thinking a lot about how we can help gather everyone in one place for ease of access and learning. Social media platforms were a start, but not ideal.
