Hyperlinks Categories
Hyperlinks can be categorized so that you can group them to distinctly display or not display in the main
navigation window at one time. The seven default categories are:
• Hyperlink
• Tag
• Viewpoints
• Clash Detective
• TimeLiner
• Selection sets
• Redline tags
Tags are just hyperlinks that are displayed by name rather than by icon in the navigation window. The last
three of these categories are defined by NavisWorks and so you cannot assign a hyperlink to one of
these categories, other than by setting up a viewpoint, a selection set, or a Clash Detective result.
To add a new category, simply type in the name of the category into the Category box in the Add
Hyperlink dialog when you are adding or editing a hyperlink.
You can customize the display of both standard and user-defined categories in the Options Editor.
