2 In the Quick Find text box, type in the string to search for in all item’s
properties. This can be a word or a few words. The search is not
case-sensitive.

. Autodesk Navisworks finds and selects the first
item in the Selection Tree that matches the entered text, selects it in
the Scene View, and stops the search.
4 To find more items, click Quick Find
again. If there are any more
items that match the entered text, Autodesk Navisworks selects the next
one in the Selection Tree, selects it in the Scene View, and stops the
search. Subsequent clicks find next instances.
Command entry: To open the Quick Find dialog box: CTRL + F. To
Find Next: F3
Find All Sheets and Models Containing the
Selected Object
You can search for an object across all prepared sheets/models in the Project
Browser.
Models exported into Autodesk Navisworks can be integrated with 2D sheets
exported from the same design application to form a multi-sheet file. For
example models exported from Autodesk Revit to the NWC, DWF or DWF(x)
file format can be integrated with any 2D sheets exported to DWF/DWF(x)
files from the same Revit project. This allows you to select a model component
in the 3D environment, and then to find and review the same component in
a 2D representation (such as a floor plan or section). Similarly, you can select
an item in your 2D sheet and find it in the 3D model and other 2D sheets.
Preparing Sheets/Models for Searching
When you open a multi-sheet file, not all sheets/models may have been
prepared to be used in Autodesk Navisworks. All sheets/models which require
preparation are indicated with the Prepare
icon in the Project Browser
window. You can use the Project Browser shortcut menu to prepare one
or more sheets/models (see Project Browser Window (page 213), or you can
prepare all sheets/models directly in the Find Items in Other Sheets and
Models window. Autodesk Navisworks only searches prepared sheets/models.
So if some sheets/models in your file have not been prepared, they will not
be included in the search.
