Using Folders to Manage Selection Sets:
Folders in the Selection Sets control bar work in a similar way to how they do in Microsoft Windows. They
can be created by right-clicking either on a blank space in the Selection Sets control, or on any visible
item in the list and selecting Add Folder from the shortcut menu. If the item selected is a folder, then the
new folder will be created inside, otherwise it will be created in the root of the control above the selected
item.
Items in the list can also be dragged and dropped into and out of folders, including folders themselves as
well as their contents, simply by selecting the item, holding the left mouse button down, moving over to
where the item should be placed, and letting go of the left mouse button. In this way it is possible to
create a variety of nested folders containing any number of folders, selection and search sets.
Selection Resolution
Selection resolution affects what geometry you select when selecting items in the main navigation window
using Select mode.
When you click on an item in Select mode, NavisWorks doesn't know what level of item to start selecting
at - do you mean the whole model, or the layer, or the instance, or group, or just the geometry? The
selection resolution tells NavisWorks what level in the selection tree to start selecting items at by default.
The options are:
• Model
Selects the whole model.
• Layer
Selects all items on a layer.
• First Object
Selects the first item in the selection tree path that isn't a layer.
• Last Unique
Selects the most specific item (furthest along the selection tree path) that is unique (not multiply
instanced).
• Last Object
Selects the most specific item (furthest along the selection tree path) that is marked as a composite
object. If no composite object is found, the geometry is selected. This is the Default selection
resolution setting.
