4. In the Near Clip Plane area, check the Automatically generated check box to tell NavisWorks to
constrain the near plane to give the best view of the model it possibly can. Alternatively, uncheck this
box to manually constrain the near clip plane. NavisWorks will put the near clip plane no further than
the value you type into the Furthest distance box.
5. Similarly, in the Far Clip Plane area, select the Automatically generated check box to tell
NavisWorks to constrain the far plane to give the best view of the model it possibly can. Alternatively,
clear this check box to manually constrain the far clip plane. NavisWorks will put the far clip plane no
closer than the value you type into the Closest distance box.
6. From the Backface drop-down list, select On to enable backface culling of all objects. Select Solid to
cull the backface of solid objects only. This is the default option and that which you are most likely to
require. If you find that parts of items are missing in the NavisWorks scene, you might want to disable
this option, by selecting Off.
7. Click OK to set these options or Cancel to exit the dialog box without setting them.
Orientation Options
NavisWorks has a concept of orientation and provides a heads up directional display. For this to work
effectively, it is essential that the current model is orientated correctly.
To orientate the model:
1. On the Tools menu, click File Options.
2. In the File Options dialog box, click the Orientation tab.
