feedback as to how NavisWorks is performing on your machine.
• The progress bar under the left hand icon (pencil) indicates how much of the current view is drawn, i.e.
how much drop-out there is in the current viewpoint. When the progress bar is at 100%, the scene is
completely drawn, with no drop-out. The icon will change color when it is working. Whilst the scene is
being drawn, the pencil will change to yellow. If there is too much data to handle and your machine
cannot process this quickly enough for NavisWorks, then the pencil will change to red, indicating a
bottleneck.
• The progress bar under the central icon (disk) indicates how much of the current model is loaded from
disk, i.e. how much is loaded into memory. When the progress bar is at 100%, the entire model,
including geometry and property information, is loaded into memory. The icon will change color when
it is working. Whilst data is being read, the disk will change to yellow. If there is too much data to
handle and your machine cannot process this quickly enough for NavisWorks, then the disk will
change to red, indicating a bottleneck.
• The progress bar under the right hand icon (web server) indicates how much of the current model is
downloaded, i.e. how much has been downloaded from a web server. When the progress bar is at 100
%, the entire model has been downloaded. The icon will change color when it is working. Whilst data
is being downloaded, the web server will change to yellow. If there is too much data to handle and
your machine cannot process this quickly enough for NavisWorks, then the web server will change to
red, indicating a bottleneck.
• The field to the right of the icons reports the amount of memory currently being used by NavisWorks.
This is reported in Megabytes (MB).
View Menu

• Control Bars
• Workspaces
