Measure Tools control bar and simply click on a series of points to describe the perimeter of the
area you wish to calculate. The Area will show the area of the perimeter described since the first
point, as projected onto the plane of the viewpoint. This means that all your points should lie on
the same plane for your area calculation to be perfectly accurate. Right clicking will enable you to
select a new first point.
• To clear the view of all measurement lines and restart the measurement, choose the Clear button
on the Measure Tools control bar. This is the same as right clicking during a measurement.
Snapping
The Options Editor allows you to set the cursor to snap to the nearest vertex, edge or line end. Points
and snap points are automatically snapped to. Different cursors feed back what is being snapped to:
No snap, but a point on a surface is found.
A vertex, point, snap point or line end is found to snap to.
An edge is found to snap to.
Note:
The geometry in NavisWorks is tessellated with triangles, and therefore the cursor will snap to
edges that may appear to be in the middle of a face. Viewing the model in hidden line mode will
make it clear which vertex or edge the cursor is snapping to.
To adjust snapping:
1. On the Tools menu, click Global Options.
2. Expand the Interface node in the Options Editor dialog box, and click the Snapping option.
The Snapping page is displayed.
