Thumbnail Views
Thumbnails are useful to get an overall view of where you are in the whole scene and to quickly move the
camera to a location in a large model. There are two thumbnails available in NavisWorks so you can have
one showing a section and another showing a plan view if you wish. The thumbnails show a fixed view of
the model, with a triangular marker representing your current viewpoint. This marker moves as you
navigate, showing the direction of your view. The marker may also be dragged by holding the left mouse
button over it and dragging to move the camera in the main navigation view.
Note:
The marker changes to a small dot when the thumbnail view is in the same plane as the camera
view.
To turn on the plan thumbnail:
On the View menu, click Control Bars > Plan Thumbnail.
or
Click Plan Thumbnail on the Workspace toolbar.
The Plan View thumbnail is displayed
