Predefined Camera Views
In Autodesk Navisworks, you can align a camera to one of the axis, or select one of six predefined face views to
instantly change the camera’s position and orientation in the scene.
When you align the camera position along one of the axis:
■ Aligning with X axis toggles between front and back face views.
■ Aligning with Y axis toggles between left and right face views.
■ Aligning with Z axis toggles between top and bottom face views.
NOTE In previous versions of Autodesk Navisworks, the front face view was fixed and linked to the ‘up’ direction of
the current viewpoint by default. In Autodesk Navisworks Simulate 2010 you can customize the location of the front
face by using the ViewCube. This change is global, and affects all viewpoints.
