The Compare dialog box is displayed.
3. In the Find Differences In section of the dialog, check all the boxes of the criteria that you want
NavisWorks to compare for differences between the two items. Overridden Material and
Overridden Transform relate to changing the color and/or transparency in NavisWorks and
changing a file's origin, scale or rotation since loading into NavisWorks, so these are unchecked by
default. All the other criteria relate to properties of items from the original CAD model.
4. Check Save as selection set if you want to save the selected items that you are comparing between
as a selection set. You can then use this for later comparisons between the same items.
5. Check Save each difference as set if you want to save the resulting differences found in the
comparison between the two items as a selection set for later analysis. The selection set will also
have a comment attached detailing the differences in more depth.
6. Check Remove old results if you want to remove any selection sets resulting from a previous
comparison, in order to reduce confusion when looking at the results.
7. Check Hide matches if you want to hide all items that turn out to be the same in the comparison,
when the comparison finishes. To show them again, reset all hidden items.
8. Check Highlight results if you want to highlight each resulting difference with a color override, when
the comparison finishes. Reset the color using the reset material command.
9. Click OK to start the comparison, or Cancel to return to NavisWorks without making any comparison.
At any time during the comparison, you can click on Cancel on the Exporting dialog to abort the
