You can define the area of the scene that can be viewed through the camera.
For the current viewpoint, you can move the FOV slider on the ribbon to adjust the Horizontal Field of View.
For previously saved viewpoints, you can use the
Edit Viewpoint dialog box on page 432 to adjust the values for
both vertical and horizontal angles of view.

versa to match the aspect ratio in Autodesk Navisworks.
