When this check box is clear, the surface of the parametric objects is used for the shortest distance measurement
instead.
NOTE Changing this option does not affect any measurement currently in place. To see any changes, clear the
measurement, and start again.
Snapping Page
Use the options on this page to adjust the cursor snapping.
Picking
Snap to Vertex Select this check box to snap the cursor to the nearest vertex.
Snap to Edge Select this check box to snap the cursor to the nearest triangle edge.
Snap to Line Vertex Select this check box to snap the cursor to the nearest line end.
Tolerance Defines the snapping tolerance. The smaller the value, the closer the cursor must be to a feature in
the model before it snaps to it.
Rotation
Angles Specifies the multiplier for the snapping angle.
Angle Sensitivity Defines the snapping tolerance. The value you enter here determines how close to the snapping
angle the cursor must be for snap to take effect.
Viewpoint Defaults Page
Use the options on this page to define attributes that are saved with viewpoints when you create them.
When you modify default viewpoint settings, your changes do not affect the currently opened Autodesk
Navisworks file. They are used as soon as you open a new Autodesk Navisworks file, or start a new Autodesk
Navisworks session.
Save Hide/Required Attributes Select this check box to save viewpoints with hidden/required markup information
about objects in your model. When you use a viewpoint again, the hidden/required markups set when the
viewpoint was saved are reapplied.
By default, this check box is clear, as saving the state information with each viewpoint requires a relatively large
amount of memory.
Override Material Select this check box to save viewpoints with material override information. When you use
a viewpoint again, the material overrides set when the viewpoint was saved are reapplied.
By default, this check box is clear, as saving the state information with each viewpoint requires a relatively large
amount of memory.
Override Linear Speed By default, the linear navigation speed is directly related to the size of your model. Select
this check box, if you want to set a specific navigation speed manually.
Default Linear Speed Specifies the default linear speed value.
Default Angular Speed Specifies the default speed at which the camera turns.
Collision
Settings Opens the
Default Collision dialog box where you can adjust the collision, gravity, crouching and third
person view settings.
Links Page
