Comparing Models
The Compare tool becomes available when exactly two items are selected. These can be any types of
item, but the compare tool is most useful when comparing two versions of the same model. During the
comparison, NavisWorks will start at each item and recursively travel down each path, as seen in the
standard selection tree, comparing each item it comes across in terms of the criteria requested.
When the comparison has finished, you have the option of saving the differences as Selection Sets with
comments describing the differences in more detail.
Comparing two items
1. Select exactly two items in the scene (see Chapter 13, Selecting Items for more information on how
to do this).
2. On the Tools menu, click Compare.
