• Geometry
Selects the last item in the selection tree path (most specific, but may be multiply instanced).
If you find you have selected the wrong level of item, you can interactively "cycle" through the selection
resolution, without having to go to the options dialog or the selection tree. You do this by holding down
the Shift key when selecting an item. This selects an item one level more specific each time you select
the item until the resolution gets to "geometry", at which point it will revert back to "model". The selection
resolution remains as set in options for the next selection.
As well as being able to set the default selection resolution on the Selection page in the Options Editor,
a quicker way is to right-click on any item in the selection tree and choose the menu item Set Selection
Resolution to X, where X is one of the above selection resolutions.
Selection Options
Use the Selection options to configure how you select items in the NavisWorks scene. You can set the
level at which you select items (selection resolution), the distance from an item you have to be for it to be
selected (useful for lines and points) and also the color in which selected items are displayed.
Setting selection options:
1. On the Tools menu, click Global Options.
2. Expand the Interface node in the Options Editor dialog box, and click the Selection option.
The Selection page is displayed.
