with no drop-out. The icon changes color when a redraw is in progress. Whilst
the scene is being drawn, the pencil will change to yellow. If there is too much

Autodesk Navisworks, then the pencil changes to red, indicating a bottleneck.

quickly enough for Autodesk Navisworks, then the disk changes to red,
indicating a bottleneck.
Web Server Progress Bar
The progress bar under the right hand icon (web server) indicates how much
of the current model is downloaded, that is how much has been downloaded
from a web server. When the progress bar is at 100%, the entire model has

Whilst data is being downloaded, the web server changes to yellow. If there
