resize the object across two axes at the same time, use yellow squares in the middle of the axes.
Finally, to resize the object across all three axes at the same time, use the square in the center of
the tool.
• You can modify the center of scaling. To do this, place the mouse over the square in the middle of
the tool, and hold down the CTRL key while dragging the square on the screen.
Changing Color
To change an object's color:
1. Select the object you want to modify in the main NavisWorks window.
2. Click the Modify Item Color button on the Object Manipulation toolbar, and choose the
desired color.
Changing Transparency
To change an object's transparency:
1. Select the object you want to modify in the main NavisWorks window.
2. Click the Modify Item Transparency button on the Object Manipulation toolbar.
3. Use the slider to adjust how transparent or opaque the selected object is.
Using the Manual Entry Boxes
The manual entry boxes enable you to translate, rotate, and scale geometry objects by typing in
numerical values, instead of using the visual tools in the main NavisWorks window. The boxes are
context-sensitive, and change depending on the currently selected manipulation tool.
• Translation:
X, Y, Z represent translation distance in the current model unit, and cX, cY, cZ represent the
translation center point.
• Rotation:
X, Y, Z represent degrees of rotation around that axis, and cX, cY, cZ represent the rotation center
