When you click in the Scene View, Autodesk Navisworks requires a starting point for the object path in the
Selection Tree box to identify the selected item. You can choose one of the following options:
■ Model - the object path starts at the model node; as a result, all objects in the model are selected.
■ Layer - the object path starts at the layer node; as a result all objects within a layer are selected.
■ First Object - the object path starts at the highest level of objects below the layer node, if applicable.
■ Last Object - the object path starts at the lowest level of objects in the Selection Tree. Autodesk Navisworks
looks for composite objects first, and if none are found, the geometry level is used instead. This is the default
option.
■ Last Unique - the object path starts at the first unique level of objects (not multiple-instanced) in the Selection
Tree.
■ Geometry - the object path starts from the geometry level in the Selection Tree.
Compact Tree Specifies the level of detail shown on the Compact tab of the Selection Tree.
Use one of the following options:
■ Models - the tree is restricted to displaying model files only.
■ Layers - the tree can be expanded down to the layer level.
■ Objects - can be expanded down to the objects level, but without the levels of instancing shown on the
Standard tab.
