On Variable
Variable The alphanumeric name of the variable to be evaluated.
Value An operand to use. Enter a value to be tested against your variable. Alternatively, enter a name of another
variable. Its value will be tested against the value in your variable.
The following rules apply:
■ If you enter a number (for example 0, 400, 5.3), the value is treated as a numeric value. If it has a decimal
place, the floating-point formatting is preserved up to the user-defined decimal places.
■ If you enter an alphanumeric string between single or double quotation marks, such as ‘testing’ or “hello”,
the value is treated as a string.
■ If you enter an alphanumeric string without single or double quotation marks, such as counter1 or testing,
the value is treated as another variable. If this variable has never been used before, it's assigned a numerical
value of 0.
■ If you enter the word true or false without any quotes, the value is treated as a Boolean (true = 1, false = 0).
Evaluation Operators used for variable comparison. You can use any of the following operators with numbers
and Boolean values. However, comparing strings is limited to the “Equal To” and “Not Equal To” operators only.
■ Equal To
■ Not Equal To
■ Greater Than
■ Less Than
■ Greater Than or Equal To
■ Less Than or Equal To
On Animation
Animation Selects the animation that triggers the event. If you don’t have any object animation in your
Navisworks file, this property is not available.
Trigger On Defines how the event is triggered. Choose from:
■ Starting - an event is triggered when the animation starts.
■ Ending - an event is triggered when the animation ends. This is useful for chaining animations together.
