Quick Properties
You can switch quick properties in the Scene View on and off. Autodesk Navisworks remembers the selected
visibility setting between sessions.
When Quick Properties are switched on, you can view property information in a tooltip style window as you
move your cursor over objects in the Scene View. You don’t need to select objects first. The quick properties
tooltip disappears after a few seconds.
By default, quick properties show the name and type of the object, but you can use the Options Editor to define
which properties are shown. Each definition that you configure enables you to display an additional
category/property combination in quick properties. You can choose whether to hide category names in quick
properties or not.
NOTE When you move your mouse over an object that doesn't have the requested property, Autodesk Navisworks
searches up the selection tree for a parent object that contains that information, and displays it instead, thus maximizing
the useful information you get.
