- Glossary
- Index
The default timescale shows around 10 seconds of animation on a standard screen resolution, zooming in
and out has an effect of doubling or halving the visible area. So, for example, zooming in will show around
5 seconds of animation, and zooming out will show around 20 seconds.
Note:
You can also zoom in and out with mouse wheel while hovering over the timeline.
Another way of changing the timescale is to use the Zoom box. For example, type in '1/4', and press
Enter to quarter the visible area. The value you enter is halved when you zoom in, and doubled when you
zoom out. You can return to the default timescale by clearing the box, and pressing Enter.
Keyframes
The keyframes are shown as black diamonds in the timelines. Right-clicking a keyframe displays a
shortcut menu that allows you to create and edit keyframes using commands such as Cut, Copy, Paste,
and Edit.
You can also change the time when a keyframe occurs by dragging the black diamond left or right in the
timeline view. As you drag a keyframe, it changes the color from black to a lighter grey.
Left-clicking a keyframe moves the time slider to that position.
Right-clicking a keyframe opens the shortcut menu with the following options:
• Edit - enables you to edit the selected keyframe.
• Go to Keyframe - moves the black time slider to this keyframe.
• Cut, Copy, Paste - standard cut, copy, and paste commands. They only work inside the selected
timeline.
• Delete - deletes the selected keyframe.
• Interpolate - determines whether NavisWorks will automatically interpolate between the current and
the last keyframes. This is the default option. When disabled, there will be no gradual movement
between the two keyframes; instead the animation will instantly jump to the position/view of the
second keyframe when it's reached. Also, there will be no colored animation bar between the
keyframes.
