Deletes the section plane selected in the Section Planes list.
Distance The distance of the selected section plane across the model.
Plane Selects the vector that represents the angle of the section plane. The drop-down list contains a range of
pre-defined values. If you select the Define Custom option, you can manually define the “up” vector for the
plane.
Enabled Indicates whether the selected section plane is active or not.
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.
Pointing device: Double-click a keyframe
Shortcut menu: Right-click a keyframe, and click Edit on the shortcut menu.
Edit Link Dialog Box

Edit Viewpoint Dialog Box
Use this dialog box to edit viewpoint attributes.
Camera
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 Autodesk 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.
NOTE This value is not editable when the viewpoint up vector stays upright (that is, when you use Walk, Orbit and
Constrained Orbit navigation tools).
Motion
Linear Speed The speed of motion in a straight line for the viewpoint. The minimum value is 0 and the maximum
is based on the size of the scene’s bounding box.
Angular Speed The speed at which the camera turns.
Saved Attributes
This area applies to saved viewpoints only. If you are editing a current viewpoint, this area is not greyed out.
Hide/Required Select this check box to save hidden/required markup information about objects in your model
with the viewpoint. When you use a viewpoint again, the hidden/required markups set when the viewpoint was
saved are reapplied.
NOTE Saving the state information with each viewpoint requires a relatively large amount of memory.
