Developer Page
Use the options on this page to adjust the display of object properties.
Show Internal Properties Indicates whether additional object properties are displayed in Autodesk Navisworks.
Select this check box if you want to get access to the Geometry tab and the Transform tab in the Properties
control bar.
Display Page
Use the options on this page to adjust the display performance.
Acceleration
Hardware Acceleration Select this check box to utilize any available OpenGL hardware acceleration on your
video card.
If your video card drivers do not function well with Autodesk Navisworks, clear this check box.
NOTE If your video card does not support OpenGL hardware acceleration, this check box is not available.
Overlay Buffer Select the hardware overlay option from the drop-down list.
Occlusion Culling Select this check box to enable occlusion culling. This means that Autodesk Navisworks only
draws visible objects and ignores any objects located behind other objects.
Selecting this check box improves the display performance when much of the model is not visible. For example,
when youre walking down the corridor of a building.
IMPORTANT Occlusion culling can only be used on a machine with an OpenGL 1.5 compliant graphics card.
Transparency
Interactive Transparency Select this check box to render transparent items dynamically during interactive
navigation.
By default, this check box is clear, therefore, transparent items are only drawn when interaction has stopped.
NOTE If your video card does not support hardware accelerated OpenGL, selecting this check box can affect display
performance.
Detail
Guarantee Frame Rate Indicates whether the Autodesk Navisworks engine maintains the frame rate specified
on the
Speed tab of the File Options dialog box.
By default, this check box is selected, and the target rate is maintained while moving. When movement stops
the complete model is rendered.
If this check box is clear, the complete model is always rendered during navigation, no matter how long it takes.
Fill In Detail Indicates whether Autodesk Navisworks fills in any discarded detail when navigation has stopped.
Batch Fill Select this check box to render detail in chunks (batches) rather than gradually.
NOTE This check box is clear by default, as gradual rendering gives better results for most video cards.
Primitives

Line Size Enter a number from 1 through 9 to set the width (in pixels) of lines drawn in the Scene View.
