To add an animation set based on current selection:
1. If the Animator window is not already open, select Tools > Animator from the menu bar.
2. Select the desired geometry objects in the main NavisWorks window, or from the Selection Tree
control bar.
3. Right-click the scene name, and click Add Animation Set > From Current Selection on the
shortcut menu.
To add an animation set based on current search set or selection set:
1. If the Animator window is not already open, select Tools > Animator from the menu bar.
2. Select the desired search set or selection set from the Selection Sets control bar.
3. Right-click the scene name, and click Add Animation Set > From Current Search/Selection Set on
the shortcut menu.
If you are adding an animation set based on a selection set, the contents of the animation set is
automatically updated if the contents of the source selection set change.
If you are adding an animation set based on a search set, the contents of the animation set will be
updated each time the model changes to include everything in the search set.
Note:
Any changes to search/selection sets during the animation playback are ignored.
If the model changes so that objects in a particular animation are missing, they will be automatically
removed from the animation set when the .nwd or .nwf is resaved.
Finally, if the selection or search sets are deleted rather than being lost, the corresponding animation set
will become a static selection of objects based on what it last contained.
Updating Animation Sets
An animation set can be manually updated; that is you can modify your current selection in the main
NavisWorks window, or the current selection set or current search set, and change the contents of your
animation set to reflect this. The keyframes are not affected by this operation.
To update an animation set based on current selection:
1. If the Animator window is not already open, select Tools > Animator from the menu bar.
