Looking at several views of your model simultaneously is useful when you compare lighting and rendering styles,
animate different parts of your model, and so on.
Only one scene view can be active at a time. A scene view becomes active as you work in it. If you left-click a
scene view, the scene view is activated and whatever you click is selected, or, if you click an empty area, everything
is deselected. Right-clicking a scene view activates it, and opens a shortcut menu.
Each scene view remembers the navigation mode being used. The recording and playback of animations only
occurs in the currently active view.
Each scene view can be resized. To resize scene views, move the cursor over the scene view intersection and drag
the splitter bar
.
You can make custom scene views dockable. Dockable scene views have title bars, and can be moved, docked,
tiled, and auto hidden the same way as dockable windows. If you want to use several custom scene views, but
don't want to have any splits in the Scene Area, you can move them elsewhere. For instance, you can tile your
scene views on the Viewpoints control bar.
NOTE You cannot undock the default scene view.
Full Screen Mode
In full screen mode your current scene view takes up the full screen, and no interface controls are shown.
To interact with the model in the scene view, use the keyboard shortcuts and the shortcut menu.
TIP If you use two monitors, your default scene view is automatically placed on the primary display, and the interface
can be placed on the secondary display to control the interaction.
Scene View Content
Navisworks enables you to change the size of content displayed in a scene view. This can be of particular use if
you are composing a scene for image or animation export. By setting the content size to the same proportions
as your intended output, you can visualize exactly how it will look.
