Edit Key Frame - Animation Set
All values are relative to the previous keyframe, or, if it is the first keyframe, relative to the model’s starting
position.
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.
Translate Enter the X, Y, and Z coordinate values to move the selected objects into this position.
Center Enter the X, Y, and Z coordinate values to move the center point of the rotation or scale into this position.
Rotate Enter the degrees of rotation around X, Y, and Z axis to move the selected objects into this position.
Orientation Enter the degrees of rotation around X, Y, and Z axis to modify the orientation of the rotation.
NOTE 0,0,0 represents world up.
Scale Enter the scaling factor around X, Y, and Z axis; 1 being the current size, 0.5 half, 2 being double and so
on.
Color This check box indicates whether the color change is recorded in the keyframe or not. Enter the R (red),
G (green), and B (blue) values for the new color.
If you don’t want to enter the R, G, B values manually, click and select the desired color.
Transparency This check box indicates whether the transparency change is recorded in the keyframe or not.
Enter the % value to adjust the transparency level (0 to 100%). A higher value makes the element more transparent;
a lower value makes the element more opaque.
If you don’t want to enter the transparency value manually, use the slider to adjust the transparency
level.
Interpolate Determines whether or not 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 counterclockwise, and
a negative value rotates it clockwise.
Interpolate Determines whether or not 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.
