Scripter Window
Use the Scripter window to add interactivity to animated objects in your model.
Menu: Tools ➤ Scripter
Toolbar: Workspace ➤ Scripter
The Scripter Tree View
The Scripter tree view contains all scripts available in your Navisworks file in a hierarchical list view.
Use it to create and manage animation scripts.
NOTE Although you can organize the scripts into folders, this has no effect on the way scripts are executed in Navisworks.
Hierarchical List
You can use the Scripter tree view to create and manage your scripts.
To work with an item in the tree view, you must first select it.
Selecting a script in the tree view displays the associated events, actions and properties.
You can quickly copy and move items in the tree view by dragging them. To do this, click the item you want to
copy or move, hold down the right mouse button, and drag the item to the desired location. When the cursor
changes to a black arrow, release the mouse button to display a shortcut menu. Click Copy Here or Move Here,
as appropriate.
