Clicking the Home tab, sliding out the Project tab, and clicking Scene
Statistics in Autodesk Navisworks shows the number of triangles
and/or lines in the current project. By setting a polygon limit you are
choosing to export only some of these items.
5 The Origin position values are the first pair of reference points on the
Google Earth surface, and must always be defined. The Autodesk
Navisworks reference point will always be positioned to exactly overlay
the Google Earth reference point.
Second and Third reference points can be used, and if enabled then
the position and orientation of the model can be more accurately defined.
6 Use the Import buttons to read-in saved placemark locations from KML
files exported from Google Earth.
The Origin Import button differs slightly from the other two; if the
KML file contains multiple placemarks, this button will offer the user
the choice of importing second and third reference points if available.
The other two buttons will only import a single reference point.
7 The Pick buttons allow the reference point locations to be selected in
the Scene View.
These points must be visible in the Scene View prior to exporting, as
once the KML Options dialog box is open you will not be able to
navigate before picking.
TIP You can click View tab Scene View panel Split View
drop-down, and select Split Vertical or Split Horizontal to split
the Scene View into separate views of each reference point.
8 Click OK.
9 In the Export dialog box, enter a new filename and location, if you
want to change from those suggested.
10 Click Save.
