Adding Redline Tags
Redline Tags combine the features of redlining, viewpoints and comments into a single, easy to use
review tool. This allows you to tag anything you want to identify in the model scene. A viewpoint will be
created and you can add a comment and status to the tag. For example, during a review session, you
may observe an item in the scene that is incorrectly sized or positioned. You can then tag this item,
identifying the problem. This tag information can be saved into a NavisWorks review file (*.nwf) and
distributed to the design team. The design team may then search the file, say for any tags of status 'new'.
Once any necessary modifications are made to the drawing files, these can be reloaded into the *.nwf file
and the tag status changed accordingly. You can review this latest version of the review file, ensure all
tags have been resolved and finally 'approve' them.
