When this check box is clear, the Walk tool disregards the world up vector, and the camera is walked with its
current up orientation unaffected.
Walk Speed Sets the speed of the Walk tool from 0.1 (very slow) to 10 (very fast).
Zoom Tool
Enable Single-Click Incremental Zoom In When this check box is selected, single clicking over the Zoom
wedge increases the magnification of the model. When this check box is clear, nothing happens when you single
click over the Zoom wedge.
Orbit Tool
Keep Scene Upright When this check box is selected, the Orbit tool behaves similarly to orbit navigation mode,
with orbiting constrained along the XY axis and in the Z direction.
When this check box is clear, the Orbit tool behaves similarly to examine navigation mode, and you can roll
the model around the pivot point.
Enable Selection Sensitivity When this check box is selected, the objects selected before the Orbit tool are used
to calculate the pivot point to use for orbiting. The pivot point is calculated based on the center of the extents
of the selected objects.
File Readers Node
Use the settings in this node to configure the file readers required to open native CAD and scanning applications
file formats in Autodesk Navisworks.
TIP If you want to restore the default values, click the Defaults button.
3DS Page
Use this page to adjust the options for the 3DS file reader.
Convert Hidden Select this check box if you want Autodesk Navisworks to convert hidden entities in 3DS files.
They are automatically marked as hidden by Autodesk Navisworks.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores hidden items.
Bitmap File Search Paths The paths of texture map files are not stored with the texture maps in the model.
Enter the required paths into this box, separating them with semi-columns.
Default Units Specifies the type of units Autodesk Navisworks uses when opening 3DS files.
TIP If the chosen units type turns out to be wrong, you can rescale the model by using the File Units and Transform
option.

Use this page to adjust the options for the ASCII laser scan file reader.
Sample Rate Specifies the frequency of points extracted from the input file.
Increasing the sample rate, reduces the number of points extracted. This has the effect of reducing the image
resolution, but increasing the speed with which the file is loaded.
Use Point Intensity Values Select the check box to extract intensity values from the input file.
When this check box is clear, the file reader ignores intensity values.
Use Point Color Values Select the check box to extract color values from the input file.
