Looking at several views of your model simultaneously is useful when you
compare lighting and rendering styles, animate different parts of your model,
and so on.
Only one scene view can be active at a time. A scene view becomes active as
you work in it. If you left-click a scene view, the scene view is activated and
whatever you click is selected, or, if you click an empty area, everything is
deselected. Right-clicking a scene view activates it, and opens a shortcut menu.
Each scene view remembers the navigation mode being used. The recording
and playback of animations only occurs in the currently active view.
Each scene view can be resized. To resize scene views, move the cursor over
the scene view intersection and drag the splitter bar
.
You can make custom scene views dockable. Dockable scene views have title
bars, and can be moved, docked, tiled, and auto hidden the same way as
dockable windows (page 132). If you want to use several custom scene views,
but don't want to have any splits in the Scene View, you can move them
elsewhere. For instance, you can tile your scene views on the Viewpoints
control bar.
NOTE You cannot undock the default scene view.
Full Screen Mode
In Full Screen mode your current scene view takes up the full screen.
To interact with the model in the scene view, you can use the ViewCube, the
Navigation Bar, the keyboard shortcuts, and the shortcut menu.
TIP If you use two monitors, your default scene view is automatically placed on
the primary display, and the interface can be placed on the secondary display to
control the interaction.
Scene View Content
Autodesk Navisworks enables you to change the size of content displayed in
a scene view. This can be of particular use if you are composing a scene for
image or animation export. By setting the content size to the same proportions
as your intended output, you can visualize exactly how it will look.
