■ 90% (mostly opaque)
Always Show the Pinned Wheel on Startup When this check box is selected, the ‘pinned’ SteeringWheel and
the First Contact dialog box are always shown when Autodesk Navisworks is started.
On-Screen Messages
Show Tool Messages Toggles the display of tooltips for navigation tools. When this check box is selected, the
tooltips are shown below the cursor as you use the tools.
NOTE This setting is always on for View Object and Tour Building wheels, and cannot be turned off.
Show Tooltips Toggles the display of wheel tooltips. When this check box is selected, the tooltips are shown
when you hover over wedges on the wheels.
NOTE This setting is always on for View Object and Tour Building wheels, and cannot be turned off.
Show Tool Cursor Text Toggles the display of tool label below the cursor.

Look Tool
Invert Vertical Axis Selecting this check box swaps the up-down axis for the Look tool; that is pushing the
mouse forward looks down, and pulling the mouse backward looks up.
Walk Tool
Constrain Walk Angle Selecting this check box makes the Walk Tool respect the world up vector (as set in File
Options ➤ Orientation). As a result, using the Walk tool causes the camera to snap to the current up vector.
When this check box is clear, the Walk tool disregards the world up vector, and the camera is walked with its
current up orientation unaffected.
Walk Speed Sets the speed of the Walk tool from 0.1 (very slow) to 10 (very fast).
Zoom Tool
Enable Single-Click Incremental Zoom In When this check box is selected, single clicking over the Zoom
wedge increases the magnification of the model. When this check box is clear, nothing happens when you single
click over the Zoom wedge.
Orbit Tool
Keep Scene Upright When this check box is selected, the Orbit tool behaves similarly to orbit navigation mode,
with orbiting constrained along the XY axis and in the Z direction.
When this check box is clear, the Orbit tool behaves similarly to examine navigation mode, and you can roll
the model around the pivot point.
Enable Selection Sensitivity When this check box is selected, the objects selected before the Orbit tool are used
to calculate the pivot point to use for orbiting. The pivot point is calculated based on the center of the extents
of the selected objects.
File Readers Node
Use the settings in this node to configure the file readers required to open native CAD and scanning applications
file formats in Autodesk Navisworks.
