By default, Autodesk Navisworks automatically chooses the most appropriate
graphics system to use. For example, 3D models are rendered with Presenter
graphics, with the exception of 3D FBX files with consistent materials, which
will use Autodesk graphics. 2D sheets are rendered with Autodesk graphics.
You can use Options Editor to specify which graphics system is used.
Presenter materials are only available when using Presenter graphics system,
and Autodesk materials (also referred to as consistent materials) are only
available when using Autodesk graphics system. Real-time navigation is
supported by both graphics systems; but you need to use Presenter graphics
system if you want to create photorealistic visualizations.
Supported Drivers
You can see a list of all supported drivers in the Options Editor
(Interface ➤ Display ➤ Drivers). By default, all driver options are selected.
