example, the Presenter window, the Animator window etc.). Again, if a button is highlighted and has a
dark blue boarder around it, it means that the corresponding display element is currently open.
As you open more toolbars on the screen, or resize the NavisWorks window, the toolbars may get
overlapped with each other to reduce the screen clutter. When this happens, some buttons will be hidden
under the overlaps. To quickly access the entire set of commands on a toolbar, click the chevron
button at the right end of the toolbar. The remaining commands available for that toolbar will appear.
The Main Navigation Window
The main navigation window (also referred to as 'main NavisWorks window' and 'main 3D navigation
view') is used to interact with 3D models.
You can control how much space the main navigation window uses compared to the control bars by
moving the sliders from side to side. Alternatively, you could auto hide the control bars, or switch on
full screen mode.
The main navigation window can be split vertically, horizontally, or into four segments. For more
information, see Splitting the Main View .
Right-clicking in the main navigation window displays a shortcut menu of available commands. If you
right-click a single item, or select one or more items and right-click, this menu contains commands related
to the items. If you right-click an area that contains no items or data, the menu contains commands
related to the main navigation window.
The Control Bars
Most features are accessible from the control bars (also referred to as 'palettes'). To display a control bar,
click View > Control Bars on the menu bar, and then choose from the list of available control bars.
Alternatively, click the desired control bar button on the Workspace toolbar.
All control bars are dockable and resizable, and will automatically lock to specific locations near to where
they are moved.
Note:
Holding down the CTRL key when moving a control bar prevents it from auto docking.
Using the Docking Tool
When you drag a control bar or a window pane from its current location towards a new destination on the
interface, a docking tool appears.
