If you don’t want to enter the transparency value manually, use this slider to adjust the
transparency level.
Interpolate Determines whether Navisworks automatically interpolates between the current and the last keyframes.
This is the default option. When disabled, there is no gradual movement between the two keyframes; instead
the animation instantly jumps to the position/view of the second keyframe when it's reached. Also, there will
be no colored animation bar between the keyframes.
Edit Key Frame - Camera
Time Enables you to reposition the time of this keyframe. The value is the number of seconds since the start of
the scene; it is not relative to the last keyframe.
Position Enter the X, Y, and Z coordinate values to move the camera into this position.
Look At Enter the X, Y, and Z coordinate values to change the focal point for the camera.
Vertical Field of View, Horizontal Field of View Defines the area of the scene that can be viewed through the
camera. You can adjust the values for both vertical and horizontal angles of view. A larger value produces a wider
angle of view and a smaller value produces a narrower, or more tightly focused, angle of view.
NOTE When you modify the Vertical Field of View, the Horizontal Field of View is automatically adjusted, and vice
versa to match the aspect ratio in Navisworks.
Roll Rotates the camera around its front-to-back axis. A positive value rotates the camera anticlockwise, and a
negative value rotates it clockwise.
Interpolate Determines whether Navisworks automatically interpolates between the current and the last keyframes.
This is the default option. When disabled, there is no gradual movement between the two keyframes; instead
the animation instantly jumps to the position/view of the second keyframe when it's reached. Also, there will
be no colored animation bar between the keyframes.
Edit Key Frame - Section Plane
Time Enables you to reposition the time of this keyframe. The value is the number of seconds since the start of
the scene; it is not relative to the last keyframe.
Section Planes A list of current section planes.
Adds a section plane to the Section Planes list.
Deletes the section plane selected in the Section Planes list.
Distance The distance of the selected section plane across the model.
Plane Selects the vector that represents the angle of the section plane. The drop-down list contains a range of
pre-defined values. If you select the Define Custom option, you can manually define the ‘up’ vector for the plane.
Enabled Indicates whether the selected section plane is active or not.
Interpolate Determines whether Navisworks automatically interpolates between the current and the last keyframes.
This is the default option. When disabled, there is no gradual movement between the two keyframes; instead
the animation instantly jumps to the position/view of the second keyframe when it's reached. Also, there will
be no colored animation bar between the keyframes.
