Share Viewpoints
You can export saved viewpoints from Autodesk Navisworks into an .xml file, and share them with other users.
For more information, see “
Export Viewpoints” on page 268 and “Import Viewpoints” on page 261.
Sectioning
There are two sectioning modes available from the Sectioning toolbar: planes and box.
Planes mode allows you to make up to six sectional cuts in any plane while still being able to navigate around
the scene, enabling you to see inside models without hiding any item.
Section planes are stored inside viewpoints and so can also be used within viewpoint animations and object
animations to show a dynamically sectioned model. See “
Saved Viewpoints Window” on page 237 for more
information on viewpoints, and “
Record and Play Animations” on page 251 for more information on animations.
Slices can also be created using two opposing section planes and linking them. In this way you can move a slice
through the scene in real time and can again link this to viewpoint animations, object animations, and viewpoints.
Box mode enables you to define a section box to focus your review on specific and limited areas of the model.
As you move the box around, only the geometry within the defined section box is displayed in the Scene Area.
