Snapping
Snapping gives you control when measuring, moving, rotating, and scaling
objects in Autodesk Navisworks.
Points and snap points are automatically snapped to. You can set the cursor
to snap to the nearest vertex, edge, or line when you pick geometry. You can
also adjust the snapping angle and the snapping tolerance that are used when
you rotate geometry.
Different cursors feed back what is being snapped to:
DescriptionCursor
No snap, but a point on a surface is found.
A vertex, point, snap point or line end is
found to snap to.
An edge is found to snap to.
Geometry in Autodesk Navisworks is tessellated with triangles, and therefore,
the cursor snaps to edges that may appear to be in the middle of a face.
Consider viewing the model in hidden line mode (Viewpoint tab Render
Style panel Mode drop-down Hidden Line
)to clarify which vertex
or edge the cursor is snapping to.
