Large models are overwhelming. The Sectioning tool allows you to slice the building horizontally or vertically. You can create "plane sets" to save specific cut views (e.g., "Level 2 MEP Riser View").
The structural steel team and the fabric membrane team used different coordinate systems. Navisworks Manage highlighted a 6-inch alignment gap where the membrane attached to the steel. The issue was fixed digitally, saving a 3-week fabrication delay.
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). Navisworks Manage

There seems to be a misunderstanding regarding the terminology. In the context of Autodesk Navisworks Manage, the word "piece" is not a standard software term.
Most likely, you are referring to one of the following four concepts. Please review these to see which one matches your needs: Optional short taglines (pick 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).
The primary output of Navisworks Manage is the NWD (Navisworks Document) or NWF (Navisworks File Set) . The NWF is particularly powerful because it references original source files. If an engineer updates their Revit model, you simply refresh the NWF; your clash tests and viewpoints remain intact.
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.
