Chapter 19. Animation
In NavisWorks there are two types of animation:
• Object animation
• Viewpoint animation
Viewpoint Animation
Viewpoint animation is a quick and efficient way of recording both your movement through the model and
views of the model. There are two ways to produce a viewpoint animation in NavisWorks:
• By recording interactive navigation
• By creating animated transitions between saved views.
You can also create slide show animations, which are, essentially, viewpoint transitions with a number of
cuts (pauses) added between viewpoints.
Object Animation
In addition to viewpoint animation, you can also animate and interact with 3D geometry in your model.
Although the ability to record animations and produce scripts necessary to interact with animated objects
is limited to users with access to the Animator and Scripter functionality, any user can actually play them
back once they have been recorded.
See the Object Animation section for step-by-step instructions on how to record animations and scripts.
The Animation Toolbar
The Animation toolbar in NavisWorks enables you to record, play and edit viewpoint animations. It can
also be used to play back object animations and enable/disable scripting.
Note:
Creating object animations and scripts is limited to users with access to the Animator and Scripter
functionality.
The Animation toolbar is shown below.
To open it, right-click anywhere in the toolbar area of the screen, and click Animation on the shortcut
menu.
Rewind - rewinds the animation back to the beginning.
