5 In the Open RPC File dialog box, locate the required RPC file, and click Open. Autodesk Navisworks has a
small selection of free example RPC files in the resources area of the product CD. You can use them to make
up a simple scene with some people, plants, and trees.
6 Make sure the settings in the RPC Editor are what is required, and click OK.
To add an RPC to a model
1 Open the Presenter window, and click the RPC tab.
2 To add an RPC to the model, either right-click desired RPC icon in the palette and select Add Instance which
gives a target cursor with which to then click on a location in the Scene Area, or left-click and drag the RPC
icon from the palette onto the required position in the Scene Area.
3 Click the Render button to see how the RPC effect looks in the scene.
To move an RPC
■ Right-click the RPC you want to move in the Scene Area, and click the Pick Position option on the shortcut
menu. This changes the cursor to a target for selection of an alternative location.
To edit an RPC
1 Open the Presenter window, and click the RPC tab.
2 Double-click the required RPC in the palette.
3 Use the RPC Editor to adjust the settings as necessary. For example, you can use the Rotation to set which
direction people are facing, or you can change the Scale size.
4 Click OK.
To delete an RPC
■ Right-click the RPC you want to delete in the Scene Area, and click Delete on the shortcut menu.
