Work with 2D and Multi-Sheet Files
Each sheet and model in the Project Browser has its own self-contained
representation within Autodesk Navisworks, enabling you to review and work
with each sheet/model as though it were a separate file.
Each sheet and model has its own hierarchy of content, represented in the
Selection Tree, which automatically updates to reflect the sheet/model
currently open in the Scene View.
When reviewing sheets/models from the Project Browser you can:
■
Search for (page 349) and select (page 341) objects within the current scene
view.
Items on a 2D sheet remain intelligent objects, enabling you to select them
for review or manipulation.
