• Once After - an event will happen once only. Use this option when you want to have
an event that starts after a certain length of time.
• Continuous - an event will be continuously repeated at specified time intervals. You
can use this, for example, to simulate cyclic work of a factory machine.
Key Press
A key press event triggers a script with a specific button on the keyboard.
You can specify the following properties for this event type:
Key - this is a read-only box showing the currently selected keyboard key.
Press Key - click this button, and then press a key on the keyboard to link the key to your
event. The Key box indicates the key you selected.
Trigger On - select how the event will be triggered from the drop-down list:
• Key Up - an event is triggered after you press the key, and let go (that is, when your
finger releases the key).
• Key Down - an event is triggered the moment you press the key (that is, when your
finger hits the key).
• Key Pressed - an event is triggered while the key is pressed. This option allows you
to use a key press event together with Boolean operators. For example, you can AND
this event to a timer event.
Collision
A collision event triggers a script when the camera collides with a specific object.
You can specify the following properties for this event type:
Set - click this button, and use the shortcut menu to define the collision objects:
• Clear - clears your currently selected collision objects.
• Set From Current Selection - sets the collision objects to your current object
selection in the main NavisWorks window.
• Set From Current Selection Set - sets the collision objects to your current search set
or selection set.
Show - this is a read-only box, showing the number of geometry objects selected as
collision objects.
Include the Effects of Gravity - select this check box if you want to include gravity in
collision detection. If this option is used, hitting floor when walking across it, for example,
will trigger your event.
