use the Pick button to interactively pick a point in the scene where the light and/or target is located.
The light is represented by a 3D wireframe sun icon in the scene and the target by a wireframe
sphere. The currently selected light is drawn in the selection color (see Selection Options for more
information on this).
Note:
NavisWorks does not allow you to pick a point in empty space so you must pick a point on the
model.
3. Lights can be positioned interactively. The 3D wireframe sun icon, representing the light, has six bars
extending out along the x- axis, y- axis and z- axis. Hover the mouse cursor over one of the bars. The
cursor will change to a hand and the bars will extend further along that axis. Hold the left mouse
button down to hold on to the light and move it in either direction, along the extended bar. Release
the left mouse button to release the light in its new position. This can be performed for all three axis.
4. Lights can also be positioned in the current location of the camera, which can be anywhere in the
scene. Navigate to the location where you wish the light to be positioned. Right-click the light in the
palette (right-hand pane of the Lighting tab) and click Position as Camera on the shortcut menu.
Note:
Not only will this position the light in the same location as the camera, if the light has a To
parameter, this will also be set to the focal (or Look At) point of the camera.
Organizing and Managing Lights
In this section you will learn how to organize lights into folders, and how to manage the lights palettes.
Managing Folders
You can organize lights into custom folders for easy reference and management. By doing this, you are,
effectively, customizing a user archive.
To add a custom folder:
1. Open the Presenter window, and click the Lighting tab.
2. Right-click the My Lighting folder on the left pane, and click New Directory on the shortcut menu.
3. Expand the My Lighting folder, right-click the new folder, and click Rename on the shortcut menu.
4. Type in the new name, for example 'GGK Project'.
To delete a custom folder:
